by Mr. Grossi and passed.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965
Mr. Ozzard nominated Mr. Sandman for the office of
permanent President of the Senate. Mr. Grossi seconded
the nomination. The Secretary was directed to call the roll.
In the affirmative were —
Messrs. Bowkley, Deamer, Dumont, Farley, Forsythe,
Grossi, Hillery, Hunt, Kelly, Lynch, Mathis,
Ozzard, Sarcone, Scholz, Stamler, Stout, Wadding-
ton, Weber, Woolfenden — 19.
In the negative — None.
Mr. Sandman was declared elected President of the
Senate for the legislative year and was escorted to the
rostrum by Messrs. Stamler, Lynch and Deamer.
The oath of office as President of the Senate was admin-
istered by Judge Anthony Cafiero, of Cape May County.
After the oath of office was administered President Sand-
man addressed the Senate as follows :
New Jersey, like almost all of the States of this great
union, must accept 1965 as a year of monumental de-
cisions— a year that will live in the State's history as pre-
dominant to all other years, with the possible exception of
the year 1776.
It is the year of the most drastic change in the constitu-
tional government of the third oldest State in the nation.
It is a year when the State will not only elect a Governor
but will also elect an entire Legislature. The strength of
each party will be tested in one of the most controversial
elections of our time.
The validity of our State Constitution has been chal-
lenged and decided by the New Jersey Supreme Court. We
have been directed by that court to reapportion our Legis-
lature under a system of equal proportions. Whether or
not we agree with the interpretation of our Constitution
by the Court, we must as citizens and members of the Senate
obey its mandate. To do this, the ability, integrity, and
statesmanship of all of us in the Legislature will most cer-
tainly receive its acid test.
To do all that the Court orders within the assigned time,
we must dispense with all partisan and selfish ideas and
principles. In many instances Senators from both sides of
the aisle may find themselves voting themselves out of office
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
and depriving the counties that they represent of a whole
seat in the State Senate. A more arduous task has never
been assigned to any Senate that has ever occupied this
chamber in its 189 years of existence.
Whatever we do, we must according to the Court's direc-
tion preserve the principle that every man's vote is equal
and at the same time we must adopt a sensible and workable
system of checks and balances. We must at all times pro-
tect the small against the winds of the mighty. We must
forever maintain the separation of powers of the three
branches of government. Let those who leave this Senate
next year leave it with a confident feeling that we have
maintained the Senate's operation according to the highest
tradition and that we have never at any time divided or
diminished its just and legal authority.
The former Speaker of the House and I have appointed
a most outstanding committee to advise the Legislature on
this issue of unparalleled importance. The Reapportion-
ment Commission is bi-partisan. Its members come from
both large and small counties. It contains a former Gov-
ernor, a former Supreme Court justice and the most capable
and representative group of citizens we could find. They
were directed to report to this Legislature by February 1,
1965 with recommendations to reapportion legislative seats
and congressional districts. Their recommendations will
not be final or binding. However, they will carry great
weight. The program finally adopted by the Legislature
must not only be fair and workable, it must also be sound
and lasting.
The Supreme Court has directed that a reapportionment
plan must be adopted by the Legislature not later than
April 1, 1965. However, under the present law, we must
complete this work at an earlier date since the last date for
candidates to file for public office expires in mid March —
almost three weeks prior to the Court's deadline. There-
fore, we must work with dispatch if we are to meet our
obligations. A postponement of the Primary Election will
be detrimental to many candidates since they will be
running for the first lime in newer and larger territories
than ever before. The candidates for all legislative offices
as well as those who seek to be candidates for Governor,
are entitled to full exposure and the people are equally en-
titled to an adequate time to elect the best candidate. Let
us today resolve to do this job — and not postpone it.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965
Of course the Governor if he chooses can automatically
postpone the Primary Election by vetoing the reapportion-
ment bills. But if this is attempted by the Governor for
frivolous reasons only to set back the primary date to
September, then his actions will be challenged by the Legis-
lature and the public.
The issue of legislative reapportionment, therefore, is the
number one priority in our Legislative program of 1965.
The issue must be considered in detail and in depth. To do
this properly, it is altogether possible that the Legislature
will not have a winter recess this year.
Fiscal responsibility
When I addressed the Senate last year on opening day,
I presented a program on behalf of the Legislature which
said we would meet our fiscal responsibility. We said that
we would balance the budget without an increase in any
tax or by the imposition of any new tax and at the same
time meet the capital needs of the State by presenting
specific bond issue referendums for specific purposes and
projects. It is now evident that we have completed that
portion of the 1964 program.
It is our position that we can balance the fiscal year
budget for 1965-66 without an increase in any existing tax
or the imposition of any new tax provided there are no un-
foreseen increases in large amounts in the capital sections
of the budget.
To balance the budget under this method, we must again
honestly tell the people that this method will allow no
monies for additional State aid to the counties, municipal-
ities and school districts, nor will it provide any local tax
relief. To do those things, the imposition of a broad base
tax would be necessary. It is now well known that there
is a great division of thought in both major parties as to
the adoption of a broad base tax. However, it is safe to say
that a broad base tax will not be adopted in 1965 unless
there is a drastic need for a great amount of additional
money for capital construction.
In 1964, our legislative program recommended four major
changes for efficiency in government. Most of these have
been accomplished after long and hard debate. We have
given the State House Commission more authority in the
6 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
handling of contracts for capital construction, the transfer
of funds and the issuance of extra work orders.
We have established a Little Hoover Commission, even
though it had to function without any money in 1964. The
need for its existence is now apparent and money will be
forthcoming for this commission in 1965. The Administra-
tion vetoed funds that were needed to do the job in 1964 and
even blocked the commission from receiving the paltry sum
of $4,000 for a preliminary survey. The Administration
had finally seen the light and now we are told is willing to
co-operate.
Last year, we recommended long range planning in all de-
partments. The shortcomings in this area I will touch upon
later.
We recommended a close scrutiny of building costs, point-
ing out that the day of underestimating capital contracts by
as much as 40 percent must come to an end. And even
though the Administration made some efforts to co-operate
along this line, let me cite one example of how more than a
half million dollars was completely wasted.
The first priority project in the $50 million bond issue
for institutions is the second thousand-bed hospital for the
mentally ill. This project was to be a duplication of the
first thousand-bed hospital at Woodbridge. Even though
the plans with the exception of the foundation were to be
identical in almost all respects, no attempt was made by the
Administration to use the same plans. In fact, we learned
that we could not use the same plans. Despite the fact the
State paid the architect 779 thousand dollars, the State did
not own the plans for the purpose of their re-use.
This was bad enough. But then we learned that no at-
tempt was made by the Administration to re-negotiate for
the same architect. Instead, a new architect was hired to
design the same building at a fee in excess of % of a million
dollars. A procedure such as this would never be used in a
normal business. A procedure such as this cannot be looked
upon as sound. And if it is not sound business, it is not-
good government.
Capital Projects
Highway Department. We recommended in 1964 the ex-
pansion of existing toll roads. Only one such expansion
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965
was legislated and signed into law, that being an extension
of the Garden State Parkway from Toms River to New
Brunswick. This would bring through truck traffic North
and South throughout the State. Our job is now to build
that road and to make sure that it is built at the earliest
possible date. I have today directed the Senate Highway
Committee to make quarterly reports to the Senate as to its
progress.
Throughout 1964, there has been much criticism of the
New Jersey Highway Department. Most of it is contained
in the Booz-Allen report. There is no question that many
changes can be made in the Highway Department to render
a greater degree of efficiency.
The report clearly tells us that the Highway Commis-
sioner needs more help, especially in the skilled field. Now,
it is real easy to promiscuously blame the Highway Com-
missioner for inefficiency. But if we are to be constructive
and if we are to improve our operations, it seems to me that
a close look must be given to the entire situation before the
blame can be fixed. When a highway is not built as quickly
as everyone would like to see it built, the first to be blamed
is the Highway Commissioner.
Let me cite one glaring example which I think exemplified
the major shortcomings.
V err azzano-N arrows Bridge
New Jersey knew eight years ago that the Verrazzano-
Narrows Bridge would be built. The year was 1956. That
year the New Jersey Highway Commissioner recommended
the construction of a super highway which would connect
Route 1 with the Outer Bridge Crossing, giving a four-lane
artery to service the accelerated traffic caused by the con-
struction of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.
The Highway Commissioner was stopped in his efforts
to build this highway purely by political pressure emanating
from the Governor's office. Even though he fought con-
stantly for eight long years for this needed highway he was
stopped by the Administration at every turn. In essence,
what happened was that the most expensive bridge per
mile in the world was built. Beautiful arteries to handle
this traffic were built on the New York side but New Jersey
throughout the eight-year period sat on its hands and did
8 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
nothing — so that today the bumper-to-bumper traffic coming
off the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge into New Jersey has
jammed all the city streets on the New Jersey side. It will
take more than two years to construct this highway. And
the construction costs today, from the best information
available to us, is five million dollars higher than it was even
six years ago. This is planning at its worst, and the most
interesting thing about it all is that we learned today that
only two weeks ago the Administration finally agreed to
let the Highway Commissioner build Route 287 from Route
1 to Outer Bridge Crossing. The most amazing thing of all
is that it will be built over exactly the same route that the
Highway Commissioner recommended eight years ago.
Under this set of circumstances, can anyone justly accuse
the Highway Commissioner for not building Route 287?
I don't think so. I think the real blame for this and other
situations of delay can be placed on political pressures
coming from the Governor's office.
Our highway program must be accelerated, many parts of
the Booz-AUen report should be implemented and all of this
should be done on a constructive basis and not one which
merely criticizes the Highway Commissioner.
Higher Education
In 1964 the Joint Legislative Education Committee, ac-
cording to our program, recommended a 40 million dollar
bond issue for higher education capital construction. This
bond issue has been approved by the people and the money
is now available. We appropriated monies in last year's
budget to do the preliminary engineering and, from the
best information available to me, we are ready to proceed
with construction of these buildings. Now it is our job to
get the building constructed at an early date.
So that the Legislature will at all times be informed as
to the progress of construction, I have today directed the
Senate Education Committee to make quarterly reports to
the Senate on the progress of this work.
In 1964 we recommended a four-year College of Aero-
nautics to be built at Pomona in Atlantic County, the site
of the large NAFEC installation. Much work has already
been done in persuading the Federal Government to build
this project. For the idea of the project and the work that
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 9
has been done up to now, the State is greatly indebted to
the Senator from Atlantic County.
Institutions and Agencies
In 1964 the Joint Legislative Committee on Institutions
and Agencies, in line with our program, recommended a
bond issue for 50 million dollars for new institutions ac-
cording to a new list of priorities. The people have ap-
proved the referendum. The money is now available. In
this year's budget we appropriated sufficient monies to do
the preliminary engineering so that construction time could
be shortened by one year.
From the best information available to me we are ready
to proceed with construction of many of these needed
buildings. The job that is ours in 1965 is to see to it that
the projects get underway and completed at the earliest
possible date. To accomplish this, I have today directed
the Senate Committee on Institutions and Agencies to
render quarterly reports to the Senate on the progress of
this construction.
Economic Expansions
New Jersey has for too long a period of time spent too
little money on the promotion of this State, its industries
and its recreational facilities. It is far wiser to spend
money in the endeavor of bringing new industry to our
State to create more jobs for the people than it is to spend
the same money for public relations staffs that are used
primarily for political purposes.
We have recommended the opening of publicity offices in
key cities such as New York, Philadelphia and Washington,
D. C. to show the surrounding public what New Jersey
has and the benefits of doing business with New Jersey. At
long last the State has opened its first office in New York.
This we agree is a step in the right direction. However,
this is only the beginning if we are to exploit a far richer
field of promotion and new business.
Equal Rights
The most cherished possession of any American citizen
is the right to earn a good living for his family. Every
person's right to learn and advance and to have the full
enjoyment of his property must be protected. The best
10 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
man or woman should in every case get the job regardless
of prejudice of any nature.
Our greatest problem in 1965 in our attack upon prejudice
and discrimination is the enforcement of existing laws and
not creation of new laws that may be designed for use for
window-dressing. New Jersey is a leader in the civil rights
field. Its position can only be maintained and improved
with adequate enforcement of the laws prohibiting dis-
crimination in all fields of endeavor.
Lastly, we owe an obligation to the people to the extent
that every person should keep and enjoy as much as possible
of the fruits of his labors. We can best do this by restrict-
ing those unscrupulous people who unduly extract money
from the pockets of our citizens. There is no need in the
twentieth century for loan sharks or home improvement
gyps. Their activities must be eliminated. Up to date bank-
ing and insurance laws are also of the utmost necessity.
Conclusion
There are many other points in our legislative program
which are too lengthy for me to report at this time. How-
ever, those will be released and made available to the public
today. The report that I have made I am convinced is con-
structive. It is critical only where it must be critical and,
above all, it gives an honest representation of what the
people can expect in 1965. It is an ambitious program
which can only be accomplished with a maximum of co-
operation from all parties concerned.
The task of the 189th Legislature is the most arduous
and without parallel in the long history of our State. What
happens to any of us who must make these great decisions
is unimportant. The thing that is important is that we col-
lectively reach the proper decisions. For the impact of
what we do will have a long and lasting effect upon succeed-
ing generations yet unborn.
Thank you.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 23
THIRD ANNUAL MESSAGE
Mr. President, Madam Speaker and Members of the Senate and
General Assembly:
We meet today in an atmosphere of change. This will be the
final year of the New Jersey Legislature as presently constituted.
Together, the Legislature and Governor have been called upon to
take historic new action to revise the legislative branch of govern-
ment in keeping with the mandate of the United States Constitu-
tion, as declared by the Supreme Court of the United States and
the Supreme Court of New Jersey. While many respected view-
points exist as to the wisdom of these decisions, there is no room
for dispute as to the duty of obedience to the supreme law of the
land.
This turning point for New Jersey coincides with what many
people see as the opening of another era in the history of our great
nation. In America, at this midpoint of the 1960's, a newly
elected administration and Congress take office in an age which
looks forward with real hope to the conquest of space, the achieve-
ment of peace for all men, and the equitable distribution of the
fruits of man's genius.
In the same sense, as we write a close to one chapter in New
Jersey history, we have the opportunity to begin to shape the
story of New Jersey's future. The work before us will not be
easy. The identification of our problems and needs is less difficult
than the accomplishment of their solutions. This is not a time for
political ease or political expedience, but a time for courage in
coming to grips with the issues before our State. And this invokes
a sense of responsibility for, as Theodore Roosevelt once said, "If
we are to be a really great people, we cannot avoid meeting great
issues. All we can determine is whether we shall meet them well
or ill/*
In New Jersey, the problems which confront most states appear
in sharp focus. This is not a new concept. It was recognized 54
24 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
years ago when Governor Woodrow Wilson described New Jersey
as a "laboratory" for the development of national solutions.
The years that since have passed have served only to intensify
the problems he cited and to add many more to the list.
The problems of an adequate supply of pure water for human
and industrial use; the assurance of pure air; the provision of
adequate housing in our cities and the preservation of community
life in these cities; planning the most useful development of our
open land for industrial, residential and recreational use — these
will be some of the major problems and challenges of the next 30
years and they will demand vigorous action before this decade
ends if they are not to overwhelm us.
We must take action now — in the 1960's — to see that New
Jersey does not become a grim preview of a polluted, congested
world of the future.
We cannot permit our State to strangle in traffic congestion, to
fail in its responsibilities to educate its children and provide jobs
for them to make that education meaningful. We must assure that
no Jerseyan be barred from the full exercise of his natural talents
or his human rights because of his religion or race. We must
build a framework of law and administration to protect the
innocent against the unscrupulous. And we must ever bear in
mind our duty, as a humane people, to provide for the needs of
the ill, the handicapped, the disabled.
These indeed are imposing tasks. But we have been blessed with
the means to meet them. We need only summon the will.
Our Human Resources
Education — The Cornerstone
Education is the cornerstone of the society in which we and
those who follow us will live, and no part of the life of this State
consumes more of the attention of our citizens than does the
education of our children. We see in them the most priceless of
assets, and thus we are united in the determination to build a first-
class educational system, and have regularly dedicated to that
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 25
effort the largest part of our spending, both on the State and local
level. In many ways we have made substantial progress. Enroll-
ment in the public schools has grown from 800,000 to 1% million
in the past 10 years. Yet, today the supply of teachers needed is
more nearly in balance with the demand than it has been during
the past decade. This has been made possible through expanded
enrollment in our State colleges and new programs of teacher-
preparation in our private colleges and universities.
And commendable progress, too, has been made in the physical
facilities of our public schools. A local school district building
program averaging $100 million a year has decreased the number
of pupils on half-sessions and in overcrowded buildings from
140,800 to 115,000 during the past year alone. The number of
classes for the physically and mentally handicapped has increased,
with more than 17,000 enrolled this year. New programs for the
special training of teachers for handicapped children — a profession
touched with a particular glory — have been instituted in many
colleges. Our expanding efforts on behalf of the less fortunate
can be a matter of pride to all New Jerseyans.
If we speak of higher education, significant increases in enroll-
ment have been accompanied by curriculum additions and im-
provements. During the past decade, full-time enrollment in
publicly supported colleges has risen from 10,000 to over 27,000.
All six State colleges now offer full majors equivalent to those
offered in any general college and have added special programs on
the education of the handicapped, for school librarians, nurses,
guidance specialists and remedial reading teachers. Last year, as
an experiment, Newark State College and Jersey City State
College made a special effort to orient a part of the senior class
toward the needs of education in the disadvantaged sections of our
large cities. As one result, 39 graduates of Newark State were
offered and accepted positions in the Newark schools.
A CATALOGUE OF PROGRESS
The steady expansion of Rutgers — The State University has
continued through a new Center for Information Processing for
training and research in the use of computers, a new Radiation
26 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
Science Center, the addition of a chemical engineering curriculum,
the dedication of the Center for Alcohol Studies, the installation
of a huge Tandem Accelerator for research and training in nuclear
physics, capped by the acquisition of 540 acres of Camp Kilmer
land where eventually thousands of students will be accommodated
with laboratories, classrooms and residential dormitories.
Additionally, I was pleased, in accordance with the Water
Resources Act of 1964, to designate the University as the Water
Resource Research Institute for the State of New Jersey. More-
over, this Administration is actively seeking the designation by
federal authorities of Rutgers as the site for the Federal Water
Pollution Laboratory for the Middle Atlantic States. The partic-
ular relevance of both of these Research Centers to the future of
New Jersey is self-evident.
This year has seen, too, continued evidence of the partnership
between University and government such as in the study of legis-
lative procedures completed by the Eagleton Institute and the on-
going assistance of the Urban Studies Center to the Newark Com-
munity Action Program.
Last fall we dedicated the new Physics Building at the Science
Center on the University's Piscataway Township campus. It is
gratifying to note that this important Center is continuing to
expand and not only contribute to the education of the State's
undergraduate and graduate students but also to work cooper-
atively with industry in the State of New Jersey. The magnet-like
effect of these developments has already been demonstrated in the
decision of many industries to locate in the area, proof positive
of the interdependence of advanced education and industrial
progress.
TWO MEDICAL SCHOOLS
In a most heartening demonstration of cooperation for the
public good, a bipartisan effort has made it possible for the State
to take over the operation of the Seton Hall College of Medicine
and Dentistry. At the same time, the State pledged additional
future support of substantial nature for the further development
of the two-year medical school at Rutgers. Thus, almost over-
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 27
night, the State has made up for years of inaction and finds itself
with two sorely needed medical schools, one of high reputation
already in operation and the other in advanced stages of
preparation.
On another subject, it seems to me that New Jersey, because of
its preeminence in electronic manufacture, research in varied fields,
and many other types of advanced technology, must be alert to
special opportunities to develop educational resources to meet a
particular need. As an example, there exists within our State
borders the National Air Facilities Experimental Center at
Pomona, in Atlantic County. Why should not this facility be com-
plemented and a very great opportunity for New Jersey be realized
by encouraging the establishment at that site of a four-year
college program in the fields of aeronautical and air space sciences?
A revised bill to lay the groundwork for this development will be
offered to you for consideration.
One of the most exciting developments during my administra-
tion has been the providing of opportunities for higher education
in the establishment of the two-year county colleges. Fifteen of
our counties are now engaged in some state of county college
development and five have been initiated already, having been
approved by the State Board of Education. In 1966 the first of
these will be opening their doors to new thousands of New Jersey
boys and girls. Funds must be found for aggressive county college
development, for we have made an outstanding start and cannot
permit this program to founder.
NEW BLUEPRINTS
Research, experiment and self-analysis have continued to play
an important part in our educational system. The past year has
seen the publication of three education studies undertaken by the
State — the Report on Higher Education, the Report on Special
Education and the Report on Vocational Education. These are
challenging and provocative studies and I commend them to your
thoughtful attention. The Report on Higher Education has
already induced a considerable amount of discussion and I hope
that before any judgment is made on the recommendations it
28 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
contains, there will be an even wider public discussion and an
opportunity given to all who have an interest in the future of
higher education in New Jersey to present their views to you.
Experimental demonstration projects have also been used to
improve our system. For example, our Department of Education
is presently engaged in an experimental nursery school program
for four-year-olds in cooperation with the school system of
Trenton. This program, known as the Junior Five Project, is
designed to prepare children for a meaningful and successful
school experience which such problems as mobility and low eco-
nomic status would otherwise prevent. The program was started
last year and now the first group is attending kindergarten. While
the continuing study is not complete, the kindergarten teachers
and other experts believe that those who were in the nursery
school last year are more self-confident and independent, have
greater language facility and physical coordination, participate
more, and in general seem to have had great benefit through the
nursery school year.
New Jersey was the first State to conduct a thorough state-
wide study of school dropouts and, through the use of data proc-
essing methods, a continuous flow of information is available con-
cerning the number, the location and the cause of school drop-
outs. This information is used by the Department in follow-up
studies to determine the fundamental causes underlying this
problem.
New Jersey was a pioneer in instituting safety programs in
such a peripheral area as school bus warning lights. The Society
of Automotive Engineers has now mandated for the United States
the broad beam flashing red light developed by this State. I am
happy to report that since the installation of the New Jersey-
developed flashing light system, accidents at our school bus stops
have been reduced by 70 per cent. Suggested improvements in the
enforcement aspects of these laws will be submitted to you.
While we have made progress, we should not be complacent.
The needs in education of our fast-growing population are almost
insatiable. As in many other areas, the crucial ingredient is
money. The $40 million bond issue which was approved in
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 29
November will provide additional needed facilities for our
colleges, but it only begins to meet the needs. The Strayer Report
estimated our minimal college needs between now and 1970 at
$134 million. Unless provision is made for additional facilities
in the very near future, a whole generation of college students will
be lost. It is not a matter of pride for New Jersey to acknowledge
itself to be at or near the bottom of the list of the states in degree
of financial support of higher education.
A NEW PLAN FOR SCHOLARSHIPS
Rising costs of private colleges combined with inadequacies of
space in State-supported institutions have rendered our program
of scholarship assistance inadequate. To date the State has in-
vested more than $14 million in scholarship aid — 11,000 of our
young people hold scholarships. In addition, more than 8,000
students are receiving the benefit of our student loan program.
There is reason for pride in this situation, but we must note a
serious shortcoming. Because of the disparity in admission fees
between State-supported and private colleges, our $400 scholar-
ship is realistic only in terms of attendance at the State-supported
institutions. The recipient, faced with the substantially higher
tuition costs of the private college, has little freedom of choice.
Our State Board of Education, has, therefore, recommended a
program of incentive grants which will provide the needed flex-
ibility of choice. This plan goes beyond the present State scholar-
ship program to provide additional tuition assistance to college
students, to a maximum of $600 a year, related to the student's
financial need and the cost of tuition at the college he selects. Such
a program would enable a greater number of worthy New Jersey
students to select private colleges and at the same time make a
corresponding reduction in pressure of the demand for places in
the State-supported institutions. This administration will propose
appropriate legislation for your consideration in the near future.
TO LIGHTEN A BURDEN
The overwhelming burden for the cost of local public educa-
tion continues to fall on the local property taxpayer, inasmuch as
New Jersey's contribution by way of State aid to education (aside
30 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
from teachers' pensions) is only 16 per cent of the cost of local
public education. I have repeatedly called your attention to the
proportionately small contribution made by the State to the local
school districts. Although this amounted to $116 million in last
year's budget and will be about $120 million this year, it still
leaves a crushing burden of cost on the home owner and rent
payer, and this burden should not and indeed cannot be carried
much longer. To meet the recommendations of the State Tax
Policy Commission, we should increase State aid by at least $90
million.
It has been ten years since the State aid formula was revised,
and during that period changing conditions have rendered it
inadequate. When the Foundation program was established at
$200, the median per pupil cost was $262; today it is
$476.94. The equalization factor has created an inequitable
distribution of the tax burden which results in extremely wide
differences in expenditure per pupil as between districts. In spite
of the real efforts made by citizens in many low expenditure
districts, the goal of equal educational opportunity is receding. In
our older cities, particularly, the problem is acute. Almost all of
them now find themselves imposing a high local tax rate yet
achieving a program of per pupil expenditure which is inadequate
for the special educational needs in this type of community. The
local taxpayer has shown in his attitude toward a local bond
referendum or the local school budget an increasing reluctance to
go it alone. Unless we face up to our responsibility towards
State aid, our educational system will be in jeopardy.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION THE PROBLEM
In my last Annual Message I called your attention to the
tragedy of our unemployed youth. Is has been estimated that
50,000 of our young people between the ages of 16 and 21 are
neither in school nor working. Even more alarming is the predic-
tion that an average of 11,000 will be dropping out of school
during each of the next five years. In a time when opportunities
for the unskilled are almost non-existent, these young people face
a life of unemployment, dependency and hopelessness, and present
a stark and frightening problem with which the State must deal.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 31
For many pupils, the academic, college-oriented school program
often breeds frustration and despair. Handicapped by a home
environment deficient in reading or conversational contact and
faced with an educational program which has no meaning to them,
they endure school only under the compulsion of law and drop
out at the first opportunity — barely literate, untrained and un-
motivated. Vocational education can and must serve the needs of
the slow, the handicapped, the reluctant and the potential dropout,
as well as those of high intellectual capacity who gravitate toward
the practical type of life-work, if there is to be any meaning at
all for the truism that "public education is for all of the children
of all of the people."
Young people vary widely in their abilities, interest and voca-
tional goals. They also differ greatly in personality, emotional
stability, family and home backgrounds and in physical and mental
health. Recognition of these individual differences has led to the
need for a very flexible and diversified program of secondary
education in America.
Our Department of Education has recently completed a study
of vocational education made by a distinguished group of business,
labor and educational leaders. The findings of this committee are
startling. Only 3 per cent of our secondary school youth were
enrolled in federally reimbursed vocational programs in 1962.
We ranked last among the states in the number of persons per
1,000 population enrolled in courses in vocational education and
this program manifestly has not reached the disadvantaged to
whom I refer. The committee expressed this thought :
"As important as general education is for the development
of the individual and the preservation of our culture and way
of life, it is not enough for the majority of New Jersey
youth who will operate machines, shops, offices and provide
our services * * * To the extent that secondary schools are
not providing vocational opportunities, they share the
responsibility for this situation."
According to the Strayer Report, about 38 per cent of our
secondary school graduates went on to college in 1962. For the
remaining 62 per cent a pre-college program had limited utility;
32 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
and for the 11,000 dropouts, no meaning whatsoever. Under
these circumstances, vocational programs which embrace only 3
per cent of the school population are totally unacceptable.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION A PLAN
The Vocational Educational Study Committee has urgently
recommended that training for work be made an integral part of
education; that vocational training or work experience be com-
bined with meaningful, job-related general education. I will not
take the time here to review the specific recommendations of the
Committee, but I commend this study to you and all the citizens
of our State.
The Commissioner of Education is deeply concerned about this
problem and has been for many years. I have asked him to pre-
pare a program to introduce such training into the regular school
curriculum and thus to insure that every child, whatever be his
needs, abilities or aspirations, receives from our educational system
a meaningful experience which will prepare him for effective
participation in society. There has now become available from
federal grants under the Vocational Educational Act of 1963, and
including State and local matching funds, the sum of $5,400,000
for vocational education. I have requested the Commissioner to
consider using a portion of these funds to establish initial pro-
grams in appropriate school districts, those presenting a frighten-
ingly high drop-out or youth unemployment rate. Some of these
will provide for vastly enriched vocational programs in compre-
hensive schools and expanded counseling services where guidance
will be balanced between the academic, college-oriented student
and the occupational, job-oriented student.
The long-range program of the federal Vocational Educational
Act of 1963 provides an outstanding opportunity for us to meet
the needs of New Jersey youth. The broadened definition of
vocational education to include the semi-skilled as well as the
skilled — the service occupations as well as the technical occupa-
tions— will permit us for the first time to give training in such
courses as appliance repair, dry cleaning, dental technician, heating
and ventilation and nurse's aide. This new program also will
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 33
permit a substantial expansion of the work-study concept which
has been so successful in the few places where programs thus far
have been inaugurated, and to which I made reference in my last
Annual Message. These programs provide supervised work
experience for persons enrolled in school and who, through a
cooperative agreement between the school and employers, receive
part-time vocational education in school and on-the-job training in
industry.
It may be that further legislation will be required to implement
the needed expansion of our vocational education program. I hope
that at such time you will give such recommendations your earnest
and urgent attention.
The War Against Poverty
This year marks the opening of the full-scale national war on
poverty declared by President Johnson, ratified by the Congress
and relying on State and local governments to design the specific
battle plans and carry the war to the front lines.
This unique legislation comes at an opportune time. It is
unique because it creates self-help programs, not public assistance
programs — projects aimed at eradicating the causes of poverty.
It is not meant to be more of the same, more dole, more sympathy.
It is meant to be for every individual and every family a real
opportunity to escape from the vicious cycle of poverty.
It is also unique because it does not attempt to set broad national
solutions for poverty problems, but rather puts that burden
squarely on State and local government. The legislation recog-
nizes that the causes of poverty and its consequences differ from
state to state, from community to community, and calls for local
initiative in determining what the problem is and what can be
done about it.
It is unique legislation because it requires the involvement of
the poor themselves in the planning and operation of these pro-
grams. It insists on broad community-wide representation — not
doing for people, but people doing for themselves.
34 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
The war on poverty comes at a strategic time, because today,
for the first time in our history, we in the United States have the
resources and the knowledge to eradicate poverty. We know how
to get at its roots, how to attack it through education, housing,
health and welfare programs, and manpower training designed to
meet today's needs.
A TEST OF FEDERALISM
Because it is unique, the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964
has far-reaching implications not only for the forgotten families
across the country and for New Jersey's 180,000 families living
with incomes of $3,000 or less; it has far-reaching implications
for the Federal System as well.
In effect, State and local government is being given a tre-
mendous opportunity. The Federal government is saying, "We
have marshalled the resources and we make them available to you.
Can you mobilize community and State efforts to make a start
on eradicating poverty in New Jersey?"
There are two alternatives : one is for New Jersey to sit back
while the responsibilities we fail to meet are gradually and
necessarily transferred to the Federal government; the other is
to respond.
I propose that New Jersey face up to its responsibilities, and
I contend that State government at its best is in a position to
minister to the diverse needs of its constituents far better than
impersonal national programs. I am not espousing archaic States-
rightism, but a belief in a partnership under the Federal system
which can be maintained and should be maintained only if the
States face up to their responsibilities.
In this spirit, three months ago, I established by Executive
Order a temporary Office of Economic Opportunity for our State.
In those three months New Jersey has taken the leadership among
the states in the war against poverty.
THE COMPONENTS OF LEADERSHIP
The principal effort here has been to coordinate the State's
economic opportunity goals and to provide direct assistance to
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 35
communities desiring to participate. By acting rapidly to take
advantage of the Act, we have made substantial gain already,
and every day sees more New Jersey communities launching
programs :
— New Jersey was the first State to receive a grant under the
Economic Opportunity Act.
— the Job Corps Center at Camp Kilmer, scheduled to open
in mid-February, will be the first such center opened in the
country.
— Newark was the first city in the country to sign a contract
for a neighborhood youth corps program, providing ex-
perience for school dropouts age 16 through 21.
Thirty-one applications under this section of the Act from
communities and State agencies have been filed in Washington,
more than any other State. They will provide work opportunities
and experience to young people in every section of the State,
urban and rural.
Five community action programs are already under way. Soon
this total will have grown to 12 fully approved community action
programs functioning in New Jersey counties and communities.
The New Jersey Office of Economic Opportunity has developed
a three-part program especially designed to stimulate anti-poverty
efforts in rural New Jersey. The State Department of Health
in cooperation with the Office has submitted a proposal for medical
examinations and remedial help for school dropouts and draft
rejectees taking part in New Jersey anti-poverty programs. The
examinations and services will be provided on contract with
community hospitals throughout the State. Our Department of
Conservation and Economic Development and the Department of
Institutions and Agencies have both applied for Federal funds
to provide work-experience opportunities in State parks, forests
and recreation areas and in State institutions.
New Jersey has already been allocated $561,000 for adult
education programs aimed at the poverty population. Moreover,
the sum of $1.2 million has been earmarked for New Jersey
students in need of part-time and summer work to continue their
higher education.
36 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
Already more than $14 million in Federal anti-poverty funds
have been committed in New Jersey, and this is only a beginning.
Given good programs, more than $20 million should be committed
by June 30th.
The New Jersey Office of Economic Opportunity has met with
more than 60 communities, 13 counties, and numerous private
organizations. Its small staff, supplemented by the services of
other State agency personnel, has provided major assistance in
the development of every community action application from
this State.
These new anti-poverty efforts are not written on a blank page.
They are intended to expand to full fruition the basic social
efforts which have been the concern of State and local govern-
ment for many years. There are few departments of State
government whose programs do not in some way involve New
Jersey's poverty population.
If this new infusion of Federal funds is to make a significant
beginning in the final eradication of poverty in New Jersey,
however, we must not rely solely on our early enlistment in the
war against poverty, but must continue our efforts until the final
battle is won. Let us spell out new efforts to reach old problems
and very serious ones.
TO BREAK A CYCLE
Next fall about 115,000 of our children will be starting school.
Of that number, approximately 15,000 will come from the poverty
population homes with family incomes of less than $3,000. On
their first day of school, many of these children will be doomed
to become eventual school dropouts; not because of low I.Q.'s
or physical disability, but simply because the home-life which they
have experienced has not prepared them for school. They may
have the ability to learn but not the motivation. They may never
have seen a book before, or never been engaged in any kind of
meaningful conversation. Thrown into the school environment
with little preparation, with vague and uncertain goals, little
incentive, unable to keep up with better prepared classmates, they
may be discouraged and frustrated from the very first day. School
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 37
may become a bitter experience and the path which leads to the
dropout may be clearly seen by the end of the first year.
The cost to all of us of this pattern is obvious. Modern tech-
nology will almost completely wipe out unskilled jobs by the time
these children seek employment 12 years from now. When they
do work, they will command low pay. Many will not be able to
avoid unemployment and will have to depend on tax-supported
public welfare for their subsistence. Left on their own, their
children are likely to follow a similar pattern and repeat the un-
happy cycle in the next generation.
If we do nothing, for many of these 15,000 five-year-old chil-
dren, this is exactly the future they will face. But we have it in our
power to do something — and do something we must.
I seek your support for a State-wide summer school prepared-
ness program, to begin this summer, tied to the federal Economic
Opportunity Act. We have already demonstrated what can be done
in a pre-school program to identify and eliminate the problems
these children will bring with them on the first day of school — the
Trenton Five Project to which I have already referred. We owe
it to these children and to ourselves to give them this opportunity.
Ten summer weeks of individualized attention and concentra-
tion on these weaknesses, may awaken a desire for success in
school which will literally change a child's entire life.
FINANCIAL INCENTIVES
To launch this program which hopefully could reach in this next
summer at least 5,000 of those disadvantaged who will be entering
school next September, a minimum of funds will be required from
State government. In most cases, the Federal government under
the Economic Opportunity Act will pay 90 per cent of the costs
involved in this program. Much of the remaining 10 per cent
can be met by in-kind contributions from communities and the
volunteer help we hope this program will induce. But the added
incentive of some State dollars and guidance from the State De-
partment of Education can be the spur which initiates local
programs.
38 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
I will propose in my budget message that a sum of $200,000
be set aside to insure the State's full participation in Federal
anti-poverty programs. When added to the $1.8 million in Federal
Funds which this State money will generate, a total of $2 million
will be available to communities for the following purposes :
( 1 ) to stimulate summer preparedness programs on the local
level for disadvantaged children.
(2) to provide funds to communities for the purpose of
keeping schools in economically deprived areas open
beyond the normal school day for the purpose of tutorial,
vocational, recreational, adult education programs and
other programs under the Economic Opportunity Act.
The New Jersey Office of Economic Opportunity will coordi-
nate these programs with the Department of Education, communi-
ties participating in the war against poverty and other agencies
which should be involved.
So that State agencies may take advantage of additional funds
which are available under the Economic Opportunity Act, I
propose that transfer of appropriated State funds be permitted
where necessary to make up the required 10 per cent non-federal
share. This would permit the New Jersey Office of Economic
Opportunity to continue the development of programs such as I
have described with the several State Departments.
The small state investment proposed here, with the help of the
90 per cent matching federal formula, on-going state programs,
and local contributions, can multiply into a major effort, and the
savings to the State in unemployment benefits and welfare
programs in later years will make this outlay seem small by
comparison.
NEEDED LEGISLATION
In order to give full impetus to the efforts of New Jersey's
communities to organize Action Programs under the Economic
Opportunity Act, I am submitting legislation to clarify existing
State Law on the question of non-profit community corporations.
Many communities have chosen a non-profit corporation or
organization as the vehicle through which to channel their anti-
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 39
poverty efforts. The question has arisen whether local governments
and county governments may contribute public funds to such
organizations. I will propose that existing State Law be amended
to provide that community action organizations recognized under
the Federal Economic Opportunity Act are clearly eligible to re-
ceive support from municipal and county governments.
These immediate efforts related to the Federal Economic Oppor-
tunity Act are not isolated. I refer to many other programs in
this message today which complement and supplement our en-
deavors. The expansion of our vocational education, revision of
the ADC program, a State Health Aid Act, a more effective pro-
gram of state aid to local school districts, and a vigorous program
of revised labor benefits for our workers. These must all go
hand-in-hand with the continuing responsibilities of State gov-
ernment for the education, health and social welfare of its
citizens.
Civil Rights — Goals to be Reached
We observe this year the 20th anniversary of the passage of
the first modern civil rights law in New Jersey. The enactment
of the landmark Civil Rights Act this past year has seen America
pass a crucial milestone in its reach for a society in which citizens
accept by their actions, as well as by their words, the self-evident
truth that :
'All men are created equal ; that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these
are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. "
It might be useful for us to reflect for a moment on the progress
of human rights in our State and the goal we seek for all our
people.
We in New Jersey have always shared the American dream of
a better life for our children in a land where the doors of oppor-
tunity stand open to all; where our aspirations are limited only
by our ability and talent; where hope is made tangible by a
progressively more prosperous society. But this abundance has
not been shared by all our citizens. Some New Jersey citizens,
because of their color, their religion or their national origin — all
40 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
purely chances of birth unrelated to ability — have been blocked
from opportunity, frustrated from hope, and deprived of their
share in the American dream.
Our goal is to assure to all citizens those rights we desire to
be safeguarded for ourselves. When a citizen of New Jersey,
because his skin is dark, cannot acquire the home he can afford,
the property rights of all are threatened; if he cannot become a
member of a union and thus gain a job for which he has the
requisite background and skill, the job security of all workers is
threatened; if he cannot attend a school whose standards are as
high as any in his community, then all educational standards are
lowered; if, in short, he is not free to pursue on equal terms the
dream that is the American way of life, that dream itself is
diminished.
THE MEASUKE OF INEQUALITY
In New Jersey :
— 41 per cent of all non-white families earned less than
$4,000 in 1960.
— 38 per cent of the non-white population in Trenton and
52 per cent of the non-white population in Newark were
renting dwellings or habitations classified as deteriorating
or dilapidated.
A Negro in New Jersey :
— has one-thirtieth the chance of becoming an apprentice in
a labor union.
— has one-half the chance of becoming a primary or sec-
ondary school teacher.
— has one-ninth the chance of becoming an engineer or
technician.
— has two times the prospect of becoming unemployed.
New Jersey has long been a leader in the field of guaranteeing
by law the rights of its citizens. We do not intend to lose that
leadership now. We are doing and must continue to do all within
our means to guarantee equality of opportunity especially in the
fields of public accommodation, education, housing and employ-
ment.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 41
The State Division of Civil Rights was transferred at the
request of this administration to the Department of Law and
Public Safety. Its current record of enforcement has vindicated
the wisdom of this transfer. The Division in 1964 achieved
corrective action in more than 100 cases, the highest in its history,
and obtained affirmative implementation of equal opportunity in
many additional cases where the specific complaint could then be
dismissed.
The Division has used the broad investigatory powers recently
granted to it and has established new working relations with many
county and municipal human relations councils. It has issued
educational materials and has counseled many fair employment,
fair housing and other groups throughout the State.
FOR EXPANDED EFFORT
This expanding role of the agency is evidence of the bene-
ficial impact it is having on the maintenance of better human
relations and improved opportunity in New Jersey.
In my budget message, I will request additional funds to permit
the expansion of the staff of the Division of Civil Rights. In
contrast to New Jersey's small staff of 17 professionals, New
York State has a professional staff of 200, handling a case load
only slightly larger than New Jersey's. Pennsylvania recently
augmented its civil rights staff from 53 to 85 professionals.
I also intend to request additional funds to permit this agency
to publicize its activities and services more widely and make
itself available to more of our citizens.
I am pleased to note the increase of local voluntary and official
civil rights activities, especially in the efforts of community race
and religion conferences, local private and official human relations
councils and civil rights commissions. This administration,
through the Civil Rights Division, will continue its efforts to
stimulate the formation of similar groups in many more New
Jersey communities.
The growing economic and social partnership between business,
labor, civil rights and self-help organizations is one of the most
42 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
enduring developments of the past year. Such partnerships will
outlast the problems of the moment to become permanent instru-
ments for better relations among all groups of our society.
This administration will continue to seek to expand employment
opportunities through every means available to it. We must be
sure that all those willing and able to work can seek employment
on an equal basis with all other citizens.
A PATTERN IN SCHOOLS
During this period of rapid social change in New Jersey, we
may take pride in the foremost decisions concerning school in-
tegration made by any state department of education in the nation.
These decisions have been tested and upheld in the Courts and
have taken their place in the law journals across the country as
precedent-making opinions. Although much remains to be done
in this area, a pattern has been established which is guiding local
school districts in their efforts to provide full and equal opportunity
to all children as guaranteed by the Constitution and statutes of
this state.
For several years the Legislature has been urged to pass an
amendment to our fair housing law which would represent the
determination of this state that no person shall be deprived of the
right to own a home because of his nationality, his color of skin
or his religion. This important measure deserves your support
and I recommend its adoption.
The single most encouraging development of the past year has
been the development of machinery at the national and state levels
to combat the root causes of much inequality of opportunity — I
speak of the War Against Poverty.
As I have noted, the New Jersey Office of Economic Oppor-
tunity is already deeply involved in the development and encourage-
ment of programs designed to break the vicious cycle of poverty
and lack of opportunity that strikes hardest at the non-white citizen.
This administration is committed to this great effort. I am con-
vinced that it is the only way by which our most disadvantaged
citizens, especially the young, can gain the skills and opportunities
to enjoy fuller, more meaningful lives.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 43
Institutions and Agencies — Human Impacts
In no area is the impact of government on the individual citizen
more profound than in the work of the Department of Institutions
and Agencies. In one way or another — whether it be care for the
mentally ill, work with retarded children, administration of a
variety of welfare programs, rehabilitating young offenders,
planning for local hospitals, or so many others — this Department
touches directly the lives of some 200,000 of our fellow citizens
every day.
Thus, I have sought during the last three years to emphasize,
and even dramatize, the needs of our institutions and agencies.
Here we are all involved — in cost, in conscience, in humanity.
We have had successes, such as the recent institutional bond issue
and our Purchase of Care Program for the mentally retarded
and the completion of the Woodbridge State School project. We
have had setbacks, such as the 1963 Bond Issue which would have
provided $60 million for institutional construction to be repaid
from the earnings of the Xew Jersey Turnpike. While a review
will show considerable progress in these years, we must bear in
mind that New Jersey's remarkable increase in population and
urbanization has its most direct reflection in the additional de-
mands placed upon our institutions and agencies. In this light, I
would like to review in some detail the achievements and needs of
state government in this area.
A major duty facing this Legislature is implementation of the
report submitted in 1961 by the Mental Health Commission that
was charged four years earlier with the task of reviewing the body
of laws concerning the mentally ill and mentally defective. The
recommended legislation failed of passage in the sessions since
1961 because of concern about the source of funds that would
carry out the recommended changes. As a result, I asked the
Department of Institutions and Agencies to work closely with
citizens' groups to make new legislative recommendations in this
area. I am pleased to report that the Department, working with
the New Jersey Mental Health Association, the New Jersey
Association for Retarded Children and the New Jersey Welfare
Council, has submitted to me proposed legislation which would
44 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
implement many of the major recommendations of the Mental
Health Commission within present budgetary limitations.
We must be forewarned, however, that future amendments will
be required to further carry out the recommendations of this
outstanding report. And these amendments will require new
expenditures of State funds.
A word about the Purchase of Care Program which I recom-
mended and which you enacted last year. As a result of the
$1 million appropriation, there now are more than 230 mentally
retarded children placed in private care, and a total of 300 will
be placed by the end of the fiscal year. We intend to sustain this
program in the coming year.
HUMAN AND DOLLAR SAVINGS
Of equal significance in meeting the needs of the retarded is
the Department's Day Care Program which began in fiscal 1964
and has been expanded in 1965. I shall recommend a further
increase in the next fiscal year. This program permits care and
training of retarded children who need not be forced into insti-
tutions. The public savings of such a program are obvious. But
the human benefits are perhaps even greater : a loved child can
remain in a family environment and hope can be maintained that
a mentally handicapped human being can be trained for a more
useful life which will give real meaning to his existence.
During the past year, the Department, in an effort to improve
its services for mentally ill children, established specialized units
for afflicted children below the age of 17 at each of our four
State mental hospitals. In the last two years a total of 147 new
staff positions have been authorized to partially fulfill the require-
ments of these facilities.
In its concern for the mentally ill and retarded and those other-
wise handicapped, the State government is assisted in an important
way by two special groups which correlate citizen and government
interest and knowledge. These are the Governor's Interdepart-
mental Committee on Lifetime Disability and its Citizens' Ad-
visory Council, and the Mental Health Planning Project. I want
to commend the efforts of the citizens and State officials involved
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 45
and to express the hope that we can continue to enjoy the fruits
of their generous labors.
A SPECIAL EMPHASIS
In an urbanized State such as New Jersey, the demands of
welfare programs take on special emphasis. The needs in this area
have gained increasing recognition at the Federal level; this has
had its impact on State government.
Let me cite a specific example : for three years New Jersey has
not implemented the new Federal law which would make children
of unemployed fathers eligible for Aid to Dependent Children.
These amendments were designed to strengthen family life by
eliminating the apparent advantage to a family whose father had
deserted over a family with an unemployed father in the home.
The existing inequity is apparent. Furthermore, these changes
would bring an additional $6 million annually in Federal funds
to New Jersey. Because the reduction in cost would benefit
municipalities while counties would have to assume additional
costs, the necessary legislation has faltered. Unless there is a
change in legislative attitude, the solution to this difficulty would
seem to lie in an increase in the present level of State aid for county
welfare programs. Again, as in so many other vital areas, new
state revenues would be a prerequisite.
We are looking in 1965 to bring to reality a number of im-
portant recommendations made in a survey by Federal authorities
of the Division of Welfare at the request of the Department.
The recommendations are designed to strengthen the organiza-
tional structure of the Division and they are being reviewed by
the Board of Public Welfare and the State Board of Control, with
a view toward making them effective at an early date.
NEW REHABILITATION EFFORTS
A major concern of the Department is, of course, in the field
of correction. We must deal with the ever increasing pressure on
institutional facilities resulting from a steady rise in commitments.
To meet this problem, the Division of Correction has undertaken
a number of new actions during 1964. The State's reformatories
were brought together under a single Board of Managers and a
46 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
single administrator. We have begun construction of a new
900-bed institution at Yardville. This institution will serve as a
center to receive and scientifically classify all male youthful
offenders to the end that their detention shall be in the most
appropriate institution from the standpoint of security and
rehabilitation. Yardville will eliminate the overcrowding of the
male reformatories and, when properly staffed, will provide the
State with a unique opportunity to gain new knowledge in the
successful training and treatment of the young offender.
An Achievement in Veterans ' Care
This year we will witness the beginning of an historic expansion
of New Jersey's veterans care. Through funds made available
under the 1961 bond issue, the State undertook construction of
80 infirmary and 120 dormitory beds in the Menlo Park Soldiers'
Home. These will become available in early 1965. Even more
significant for 1965 will be the implementation of the Department
of Institutions and Agencies' priority for 400 new geriatric beds
at the Vineland and Menlo Park Soldiers' Homes. This has
become a reality as a result of the passage of the 1964 bond issue
and, when construction is completed, New Jersey will have more
than 900 beds for the care of veterans. This will be more
than double our present capacity and it is an achievement to which
we can all look forward with pride.
Woman's Opportunity — New Potential
It was my privilege during the past year to establish a
Governor's Commission on the Status of Women. For the first
time in the history of this State, there is an official group of repre-
sentative citizens of varied backgrounds concerning itself spec-
ifically with the needs and opportunities of the women of New
Jersey. The work of the Commission comports with the national
goal to assure equal opportunity as well as the full use of the talents
of all Americans. Among its activities, this Commission is review-
ing the possibility of legislation to assure that women will have
the opportunity and means whereby they may fulfill their goals.
Any recommendations developed by the Commission concerning
this important matter will be promptly presented to you.

Concerted Efforts for the Aged
The needs of our elderly citizens must always remain high on
our list of social priorities and it is incumbent upon us to concern
ourselves not only with the older people of today, but also the aged
of tomorrow.
We have the solemn charge to provide the leadership for a
concerted and continuing program to meet the challenge posed by
the growing number of older citizens faced with such needs as in-
come, housing, health, recreation, education and welfare.
Approximately 10 per cent, or 650,000, of our citizens are
already 65 years of age or over. Our 1965 budget of $104,000
for the Division of the Aging can be broken down to an average
expenditure of 16 cents per person for those of age 65 and over. It
does not take into account services needed for those preparing to
retire.
Our goal should not be a roster of isolated programs but the
enlargement of existing programs so that they may include older
people for whom we have been heretofore unable to provide
services such as housing, health and community planning.
The Division of the Aging has most recently focused its imme-
diate attention on the problem of suitable housing. Our Conference
on Local Planning for Housing for the Elderly last year at Rutgers
University was attended by more than 300 people and climaxed
three years of cooperative effort by local planners, builders, archi-
tects and the State agencies. Progress in this field is marked by the
fact that an additional 9,578 units of public housing for the
elderly have been completed or are under planning by municipal
housing authorities. I am pleased to note that there has also been
an increased development of private housing for the elderly.
In the area of traffic safety, the Division has sponsored Older
Driver Seminars with the Division of Motor Vehicles. These have
given the elderly an updated concept of safety on the highway, and
the overall program achieved national recognition at the Sympo-
sium on Senior Drivers and Pedestrians at the University of
Denver College of Law in Colorado last year.
48 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
While significant strides have been made in the interest of the
elderly, it must be noted that inadequate appropriations for
urgently needed personnel have severely limited activity on
priority programs. At least one request per day for help, especially
from communities throughout the State, regretfully must be
turned down because of staff cuts due to fiscal shortages.
Last year I submitted legislation to improve the structural
makeup of the Division of the Aging in the interest of better public
service. The bill was not passed by this body. I once again
recommend that it receive your endorsement when it is resub-
mitted for your consideration this year. It will certainly enable us
to do the best with what we have for our senior citizens.
Youth, A Variety of Programs
Among the many current activities of our Youth Division is
its work on the organization of Youth Guidance Councils to
cooperate with juvenile and domestic relations courts in the
municipalities. A conference sponsored by the Division at Rutgers
last year has already shown results with the establishment of
guidance councils in several communities.
I was privileged to sign the abused child legislation which was
proposed and drafted by the Battered Child Committee of the
Youth Division.
The Division has also established the Venereal Disease Com-
mittee which is at work on a pilot survey in the northern part of
the State to determine the background of young people contracting
these diseases.
The Division's Youth Fitness Committee is developing a proj-
ect to encourage improved physical fitness programs in elementary
schools.
I am sure that all of the people of New Jersey share a deep
sense of appreciation for the work of a multitude of citizens with
varying professional backgrounds who have lent their services to
the activities of the Division with no rewards save the satisfaction
of dedicated public service in the interest of our young people.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 49
The Public Health
The State in the past several years has strengthened its efforts
to protect the health of our citizens through improved and expanded
public health programs. Some of the most dramatic work has
been undertaken in the area of preventable diseases. Last year,
the State Health Department, in conjunction with the medical
societies and local groups, coordinated the greatest mass vaccina-
tion program in our history. As a result of this effort, more than
10 million doses of oral polio vaccine were administered to the
State's population. The groups most susceptible to polio were
effectively covered by the program and this has been reflected in
the near elimination from the State of the disease of polio- During
the past year only two cases were reported.
Less dramatic but equally significant efforts were carried on by
the Department in other areas. The Crippled Children Program
has approximately doubled during the past three years. In addition,
a screening program for hearing and speech defects surveyed
approximately 50,000 children. In the area concerning radiological
health the Department has conducted more than 10,000 X-ray
machine inspections since 1962 and has located more than 23,000
specific defects for which corrective instructions were issued.
Continuing inspections are being made to insure compliance with
the radiation protection code. Comparable reports could be made
in regard to many other public health programs.
Notwithstanding this gratifying effort on behalf of our health
officials, however, there remains the need for expanding and im-
proving our health efforts. I am, therefore, recommending that
the Legislature consider the adoption of three new basic programs
necessary for the well-being of the people of New Jersey.
1. State Aid to Local Health Services
The basic health protection services which are provided by many
municipalities of our State are admittedly inadequate. As a result,
our citizens who live in or who visit these municipalities are
continually subjected to unnecessary health hazards. In a small
state such as New Jersey, it is to the immediate benefit of everyone
to maintain health standards at the highest possible level. I,
therefore, recommend that the Legislature give prompt attention
50 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
to a program of State aid for local health services which has been
developed by the State Department of Health in conjunction with
the Public Health Council and the Rutgers University Bureau of
Government Research. Legislation will be introduced shortly to
provide for three separate, but equally important, types of state
health aid :
(a) Basic state aid for county health services would provide
$25,000 for each county and would require an annual State
appropriation of $525,000.
(b) State aid for local health services would be made avail-
able on the basis of local need and ability to pay. The Depart-
ment estimates that when the entire State participates approxi-
mately $3,350,000 in State appropriation would be required
annually.
(c) State aid for emergency and special services would be
made available for allotment by the Commissioner of Health for
a limited period to cover emergency situations and in order to
stimulate the development of health services. An annual State
appropriation of $500,000 is suggested in the legislation.
2. Public Health Sanitary Sewerage Facilities Planning Act
It has been the policy of the State Department of Health, in line
with the report of the State Advisory Committee on Sewage Dis-
posal, to encourage multi-municipal regional and valley sewerage
projects in contrast to the old program of providing sewage dis-
posal facilities on an individual municipal basis. The experience
of the State Department of Health in recent years indicates that,
even though relatively small sums of money are involved, the lack
of appropriations to provide for feasibility studies in order to lay
the groundwork for regional sewerage projects is a major hurdle.
The money involved usually amounts to only a few thousand
dollars per municipal entity, but usually such funds are not pro-
vided for in municipal budgets because most municipalities do not
anticipate or agree upon the necessity for making such an inter-
municipal study. The State Department of Health is convinced
that, if funds could be made available on a State grant basis for
feasibility studies, a great stimulant would be provided toward
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 51
the planning, design and construction of much needed regional
sewerage facilities.
The proposed legislation would authorize grants for the prepara-
tion of inter-municipal feasibility reports and it would provide
further for loans from the State to municipal entities for planning
and engineering of such projects. It is suggested that the moneys
for feasibility studies would be outright grants from the State.
The moneys for planning and engineering would be loans payable
at the time the project was placed under construction or, if con-
struction was not initiated within a three-year period, the planning
and engineering loans would be repaid to the State at a low
interest rate.
The Department believes the grant section of such a program
could become operative with an annual appropriation of $500,000.
The loan program would eventually require the creation of a
revolving fund perhaps as large as $15 million. It could be
activated, however, for a substantially lesser amount.
Both of these programs have been designated by the Depart-
ment as highest priority needs if the public health of this State is
to be maintained in the face of terrific growth pressures. As can
be seen from the cost figures I have cited, these programs will
require the appropriation of considerable sums of money. Should
you agree with me as to the need for these programs, it will be
necessary for us, cooperatively, to work out the required finances.
3. Air Pollution Control
Although I have noted the extent to which the Department of
Health has increased its activities in many of the critical areas
under its jurisdiction, a particularly vigorous enforcement effort
has been carried on with regard to air pollution control. Since
July 1962, more than 6,000 initial and follow-up air pollution
investigations have been conducted. Two thousand enforcement
actions were undertaken during this period.
Last year an additional State appropriation permitted the De-
partment to qualify for one of the largest Federal grants made to
any State for air pollution control activities. As a result of the
additional State and Federal money, the Department was able to
52 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
increase its staff in this work from 21 to 51 persons. This has
provided the means for a strengthened program. I cannot stress
too strongly, therefore, how important it is to the success of our
efforts for the State to continue to support financially our air
pollution control program.
Again, the improvements of the past cannot justify a relaxation.
The fight against air pollution demands new efforts and new
authorizations. Unlike the previous programs I have discussed
in the area of public health, the proposals for an expanded air
pollution control program concerning motor vehicles will not
require the immediate expenditure of large sums of money. If
the Legislature is willing to act, this program can be adopted
forthwith.
As you know, the New Jersey Air Pollution Control Com-
mission has been conducting an extensive study of this problem
for more than a year. Its report, issued last September, points
out the immediate need to vest authority in the State to require
the use of air pollution control devices as effective equipment is
developed.
Throughout this message, I discuss the responsibilities imposed
upon us by the growth of the State. In dealing with the pro-
tection of our most vital natural asset — the air we breathe — these
responsibilities must be recognized and exercised, diligently and
with dispatch. The recommendations of the Air Pollution Control
Commission have been developed into a four-point program. En-
actment of this program not only would provide the appropriate
State agencies with the necessary authority to act but also would
recognize that the science of air pollution control is still developing
and that it may be some time before truly effective devices are
produced to control certain air pollution problems. I, therefore,
urge the Legislature to give every consideration to legislation to
accomplish the following:
(a) Authorize the Air Pollution Control Commission to
adopt standards of emission of contaminants from motor
vehicles; standards of quality of motor vehicle fuels; and
standards for motor vehicle air pollution control systems ; and
authorize the Department of Health to review and approve
such systems.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 53
(b) Prohibit the registration of motor vehicles in this State
unless they are designed, modified or equipped for the control
of air pollution in conformity with standards adopted but pro-
viding that such a prohibition shall apply only to motor vehicles
manufactured after the adoption of such standards.
(c) Enforce, through the motor vehicle inspection program,
any requirements adopted that motor vehicles control the
emission of contaminants in accordance with adopted standards.
(d) Make it a disorderly persons' offense (1) to operate
motor vehicles emitting smoke in excess of standards adopted
by the Commission; and (2) to sell motor vehicle fuel which
fails to meet quality standards promulgated by the Commission.
ANOTHER NEED
In another health area, there is a need for action. Many of our
counties and municipalities are confronted with increasing diffi-
culties in finding adequate land areas for the disposal of garbage
and other solid waste matter.
It has been suggested that a commission be established to study
the availability of land sites and to consider various alternative
methods for the elimination of this waste. I recommend the
creation of such a commission.
Protection of the Consumer
During the past fiscal year, the Consumers Fraud Bureau
processed nearly 5,000 complaints and obtained refunds for
consumers totalling nearly $400,000. While this worthwhile
accomplishment attests to the effectiveness of our relatively new
consumer protection program, unfortunately it is also symptomatic
of the spread of sharp dealing by marginal operators.
New Jersey is in the forefront of those states which have
adopted a progressive and enlightened approach to the age-old
problems of consumer protection. Through a comprehensive
system of licensing and regulation, we have branded unethical
conduct also as unlawful conduct wherever abuses have appeared,
and through a network of effective State agencies, we have
enforced these laws with vigor and vigilance. The Bureau of
54 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
Securities, another such agency, has put out of business most, if
not all, of the "boiler shop" operations in this State and thereby
has saved our citizens from the dangers inherent in illusory
financial investments. Recent experience, however, has indicated
that even more legislation in the field of consumer protection may
soon be needed.
New Jersey does not, but should, have a law to require hotels,
motels and other places of public accommodation to post their
rental rates in each room. We should have a uniform and central-
ized system for the mandatory licensing and registration of door-
to-door solicitors and peddlers. Our laws should require that used,
reconditioned and rebuilt appliances, including radio and television
tubes, be clearly labeled as such to eliminate deceptive guarantees
and fictitious price reductions. There may be a need for regulatory
legislation to protect prospective buyers of new homes from the
consequences of contractors' defaults in performance. A model
state securities registration act is now under review.
AN" IMMEDIATE TARGET
Legislation in this area soon will be offered for your consider-
ation. As to one particular target for corrective action, however,
I urge your serious and immediate attention.
At my request, during this past year, the New Jersey Real
Estate Commission has conducted an extensive investigation in the
area of secondary financing commonly referred to as the "second
mortgage" field. This investigation was occasioned by numerous
and continuing complaints from individuals indicating the exist-
ence of a pattern of unethical and possibly unlawful conduct on
the part of lenders. I am satisfied from my review of the Com-
mission's report that there is a definite need for strong remedial
legislation.
The investigation has revealed the existence of abuses with re-
spect to certain aspects of secondary financing. There are those —
and they should be distinguished from the established financial
community — who engage in misleading advertising calculated to
induce potential borrowers to consolidate their debts with the
expectation that they will ease their financial plight. In a great
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 55
many instances, the expectation of borrowers are defeated and
their financial predicaments made worse. In most cases, hidden
charges, unspecified fees and unfair interest rates result in a final
indebtedness grossly in excess of the principal amount of the
borrowing.
There is need, in many instances, for secondary credit and
financing. Many people, despite existing primary obligations in-
volving the mortgage payments on their homes and installments
on automobiles and appliances, have continuing financial needs not
the least of which may involve the cost of the college education
of their children or the medical bills of their parents. Often, they
can be met only by obtaining further credit.
In view of these circumstances, I have directed the Department
of Banking and Insurance to work with the Attorney General and
my legal staff toward the preparation of a new legislative program
which will bring proper regulation and supervision to the field of
"second mortgage" financing.
There is already established within the Department of Banking
and Insurance a Division of Consumer Credit which now adminis-
ters such important laws in this area as the Retail Installment
Sales Act, the Home Repair Financing Act and the Small Loan
Law. Through effective enforcement of these laws, this agency
has obtained countless thousands of dollars worth of goods and
services for consumers, and has collected thousands of dollars in
penalties and fines from violators. The legislative program now
contemplated will be a further step in the direction of assuring
proper and safe practices in an area of financing which vitally
affects the public.
The People's Safety — Drinking and Driving
The relationship between consumption of alcohol and highway
fatalities is now well known. A continuing program conducted by
the Motor Vehicle Division and the Traffic Safety Council has
shown that deaths of 56 per cent of drivers killed on the New
Jersey highways each year involve an alcohol factor.
For the past two years, I have urged the Legislature to enact
measures providing that the application for a driver's license
56 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
implies the applicant's consent to submit to an alcohol determina-
tion test, when arrested on suspicion of drunkenness.
I feel that this legislation is imperative to the most effective
enforcement of our motor vehicle laws. It could become a major
factor in the reduction of the tragic death toll on our highways.
It is important that in considering this legislation you take equal
care to protect the rights of the accused and the safety of those
who use our highways. The measures I request take careful note
of the constitutional rights of the accused as interpreted by the
United States Supreme Court.
RENEWED EFFORTS
We persist in our efforts to persuade the State of New York
to conform to a national standard by raising its minimum drinking
age to 21. Rebuffed time and again, we have recently renewed
our appeal to the Governor and the Legislature of our sister state
in the name of those young people who we know must die on the
highways because of the tragically unique law of New York.
I have heard many arguments, some of them inspired by dollars
and cents considerations, that there is no causal connection between
teenage drinking in New York and the carnage on our highways.
In answer to these, I offer the unhappy statistics of death and
serious injury among our youth who find easy access to alcoholic
beverages across our borders.
As you know, I have named Ned J. Parsekian, former Director
of Motor Vehicles, as my special consultant on the teenage drink-
ing problem. It was Mr. Parsekian who prepared the excellent
report which we presented to the New York State Joint Legislative
Committee to study the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law. As my
consultant, he will continue to put to use his unquestioned expertise
and will serve as an effective representative in our dealings with
the State of New York.
Let me make it clear that we shall never abandon what we believe
is a just cause. In the coming months we shall enlist the support
of civic, governmental and religious leaders in New Jersey as well
as New York in our endeavor to bring to bear every moral force
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 57
in a struggle we must continue if we are to save the lives — even
one life — of our young people.
Law Enfokcement
A paramount consideration of government is the protection of
the persons and property of all who live within the social compact.
Effective law enforcement is not an ordinary governmental
service, but an absolute obligation owing from the State to its
citizens. It is a matter of record that New Jersey in recent years
has discharged that obligation faithfully and well.
A network of liaison and communication has been established
among the Attorney General, the county prosecutors, the local
police departments and the law enforcement agencies of the
Federal government. The resulting close contact and coordination
of activities have left no room for regional rivalries and duplica-
tion of effort. In New Jersey law enforcement is becoming,
more and more, a concerted quest for the detection and elimination
of unlawful activity wherever it may be found. During the past
year, the Criminal Investigation Section of the Division of Law
has conducted numerous investigations and criminal prosecutions
in conjunction with local officials, and has amassed much valuable
information concerning gambling, narcotics, vice and persons
with established criminal reputations. County Prosecutors and
municipal police chiefs have requested and received enforcement
assistance from State officials, and in turn have cooperated to the
hilt with the Attorney General's office.
NEEDED LEGISLATION
But it would be no favor to our citizens to dwell further upon
the good quality of our present law enforcement apparatus. This
is an area in which we cannot afford to stand still. With increasing
urbanization, there are new problems which require greater
sophistication in the field of law enforcement. One remedy lies in
alleviating the manpower problems of our State and local police
forces. Another rests in the adoption of a mandatory police
training program. There are needs for a uniform system of crime
reporting, and for legislation to secure vital testimony in criminal
proceedings through a grant of witness immunity.
58 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
I have recommended all of these measures to you before, and
it goes without saying that the need for their adoption persists
from year to year with increasing urgency. I hope that the new
session at last will produce a response to this need, for the un-
explained inaction of the past does not present a record of concern
for the public good.
Last year I advised you that the Attorney General was preparing
legislation to update our existing laws regulating the sale and
possession of firearms. Such legislation will soon be introduced
for your consideration. The proposed bill is intended to embody
a fair and balanced approach to this subject. Whatever minimum
restrictions upon individual convenience might be involved, they
are more than warranted by the need to provide maximum pro-
tection to the general public.
Narcotics — A New Approach
Recently I approved the basic proposal of the Narcotic Drug
Study Commission which represents a pioneer adventure in the
area of narcotic addiction control. The new program is directed
toward the prevention and elimination of drug addiction through
treatment and rehabilitation.
The accomplishments of this Commission demonstrate, in the
most vivid sense, the constructive results which bipartisan effort
can achieve even in a controversial area. When I first proposed
this study in 1962, I was supported by Senate President Sandman
and others of both parties, and this agreement laid the basis for
the results which we have now acclaimed, with all the new hope
that it means for the future. The legislation so recommended
fulfills the mission I expressed in December, 1962, when I asked
the Commission to determine a "new approach to the overall
narcotics problem * * *" and to "* * * seriously explore the
benefits that can come from a comprehensive integrated program
of treatment and prevention."
The Commission is continuing its study and we should all stand
prepared to give prompt attention to the findings and recom-
mendations they may submit.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 59
The Department of Institutions and Agencies is now preparing
to implement the new legislation. I have requested the Com-
missioner of the Department to prepare for submission to you a
full report concerning the establishment of this program.
New Cultural Horizons
New Jersey lies between two of the world's great metropolitan
centers of art and culture, New York City and Philadelphia,
descril>ed 200 years ago as "The American Athens." This geo-
graphical fact has influenced greatly New Jersey's cultural develop-
ment just as it has determined her development in other fields.
The proximity of these two great centers of art and learning
provide for New Jersey citizens the opportunity to enjoy the
theater, music of all types, great museums and libraries and all
forms of popular entertainment with a variety and scope unequaled
anywhere in the country and few places in the world.
The strong influence of and easy access to these great cities
has in the past limited the development in New Jersey of more
than a few great public institutions devoted to the arts. This lack
has not, however, left New Jersey barren of culture or unrespon-
sive to the arts. The converse is true. New Jersey citizens have
long evidenced their involvement in the arts. Some of the nation's
and the world's greatest poets, artists, writers, teachers and
musicians have been Jerseymen.
And in New Jersey today there are tens of thousands of citizens
engaged in the practice or active appreciation of one or more of
the arts. It could be a member of a Garden Club arranging a
floral display; an amateur actor on a suburban stage; a profes-
sional composing or interpreting music ; or a stockbroker partici-
pating in a community orchestra. In our largest city, Newark,
business and community leaders are working closely with the
city administration to establish a cultural center in the former
Mosque Theatre. And so on through an almost endless list.
As we enter our fourth century, however, New Jersey is pre-
paring to assume a more active role for itself in the arts. We will
seek to prove in the years ahead that a great industrial state can
60 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
provide for its people the quality of cultural life as well as quan-
tities of goods and services.
As a state often described as a single city-suburban complex,
we will seek to show the nation that the elements of the aesthetic
life can be made available not only to the wealthy patron of the
arts but to those of modest means. We will attempt to demonstrate
that the exaltation of art can inspire all people to achieve better
than they had hoped for themselves, and thus recognize the hunger
of the spirit as a part of the whole man.
We will open next month a new State Library, the first of the
buildings in our new Cultural Center. This new structure will
enable the State Library to exhibit properly the intellectual and
cultural heritage of New Jersey. It will also provide adequate
quarters for collections and services of great value to the three
branches of our State government.
Within a few months, our new State Museum will open its
doors. Its exhibitions will tell our citizens, especially our school
children, the story of man's physical world and civilization. Our
new planetarium will be one of the most modern in the country.
It will unfold the new worlds of space and permit us to appreciate
more graphically the scope and nature of the universe.
The State Museum will also undertake a program of support
and acquisition in the fine arts, encouraging private donors to give
or lend to its collection.
Our Art Commission created by this Legislature and including
four of its members, is now conducting a definitive inventory of
the arts in New Jersey. The Commission is ably assisted by a
large and distinguished group of experts in all cultural fields,
many of whom are men and women of national and international
reputation. The Commission has already accumulated impressive
evidence of the wealth and vitality of cultural activities now
existent throughout New Jersey. The Commission's report, due
at the end of this year, will help guide state action in this field.
The modest financial needs of this Commission should be provided.
In his State of the Union Message last week, President Johnson
outlined a new nationwide effort to "landscape our highways and
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 61
provide places of relaxation and recreation wherever our roads
run."
New Jersey has always made an effort to keep our highways
aesthetically pleasing as well as functionally adequate. The land-
scaping of the Garden State Parkway is a good example.
A MAJOR STEP
I am pleased to announce today that we are to take a major step
beyond this goal. I speak of the establishment of a Garden State
Arts Center at Telegraph Hill on the Garden State Parkway in
Monmouth County.
This center will include an amphitheater for concerts and a
drama playhouse to be designed by an internationally famous
architect. This cultural center ultimately will include an historical
mall, botanical gardens and nature trails. All these facilities will
be easily accessible to our mobile population, centrally located in
our State near our urban places.
I will release further details on this new cultural center within
a few weeks, but in the meanwhile it is fair to say that the new
center will rival any similar facility in this country, and will be a
place where natural beauty and art will combine to offer enjoyment
a few short minutes from our cities.
Matthew Arnold once called culture "the acquainting of our-
selves with the best that has been known and said in the world,
and thus with the history of the human spirit." It is with this
hope that I dedicate New Jersey to the pursuit of excellence in all
fields. It is in this spirit that New Jersey must now seek to bring
culture within the reach and into the lives of all our people.
Our Environment
the Development of Natural Assets
Our forebears in a younger America were blessed with an
abundance — even an overabundance — of natural resources. Land
and the riches beneath it, the sea and its wealth, pure streams that
laced the landscape, tall forests that spanned the horizon, all were
62 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
theirs in seemingly inexhaustible supply. Today, we enjoy an
abundance of another sort in the products of a technological
civilization. But this is not an unmixed blessing, particularly in
our urbanized New Jersey.
The resources that once appeared limitless now must be carefully
treasured. Conscience and wisdom alike must dictate the public
investment necessary to develop to the full our water supplies, to
preserve our rapidly disappearing fields and woods and lakes, to
develop these green areas for the enjoyment of our urban
multitudes and to reclaim for community development the stretches
of meadowland that were bypassed in the earlier growth of our
cities and towns.
We have turned our strength in this direction, particularly in the
last decade. For New Jersey, high among its assets, can list a
public sense of prudence. Let us look now at some of the results
of this foresight.
Water — A Special Concern
Water supply has been a subject of special concern to this State.
I am pleased to report to you some of the noteworthy progress that
has been made in the past year to assure our future water resources.
The Spruce Run-Round Valley Reservoir system was originally
designed to produce an expected dependable yield of 130 million
gallons per day. At the termination of hearings before the Water
Policy and Supply Council — and with ingenuity which deserves
the compliments of every citizen of the State — our Conservation
Department devised a distribution plan which will increase
this potential output to 200 million gallons per day. The addi-
tional 70 million gallons which will result from the use of the
Raritan River has the effect of providing another reservoir
at no added cost to the State. The meaning of this vast water
supply to the northeast metropolitan area of our State is obvious.
We anticipate that the Tocks Island Reservoir, to be developed
by the Delaware River Basin Commission, can provide 150 million
gallons per day as an additional source of water to Round Valley.
Beyond this, New Jersey is seeking 150 million gallons per day
TUESDAY, JANUAKY 12, 1965 63
to be taken from the River at Frenchtown for distribution out
of Round Valley. Thus Round Valley may justly be described
as the "hub of the waterwheel of the State." The initial storage
of 55 billion gallons can be increased economically to 75 billion
gallons for storage of pumped diversions of water from the
Delaware River and other sources to increase the availability of
stored water on a safe dependable yield basis to 300 million gallons
daily or more.
In another significant development last year, a total of 2,000 of
the 6,000 acres required for the Hackettstown Reservoir on the
upper Musconetcong River was purchased under our open space
program and our Conservation Department is actively negotiating
to acquire the remainder. This was done in compliance with the
comprehensive plan approved by the State and the Delaware River
Basin Commission for optimum development of the water and
related natural resources of the interstate Delaware River Basin.
These lands have high immediate recreation potential and are
necessary to eventual development of the water resources of the
Musconetcong River for the future needs of that valley and
adjacent areas. By maximum utilization of this site, a dependable
gross supply of 58 million gallons daily can be developed for use
in the valley.
SETTING ASIDE FOR THE FUTURE
With our State's continued growth, we find ourselves competing
with other land uses for reservoir sites. For this reason I shall
request from the Legislature in 1965 authorization to use funds
dedicated in 1958 for site acquisition for the purchase of a major
reservoir site on the Six Mile Run in the Millstone Valley. This
reservoir will provide the storage necessary for maximum utiliza-
tion of the 100 million gallon daily diversion from the Delaware
River Basin authorized for our use by the 1954 United States
Supreme Court decision. Through this storage, the year-round
usable water from the Delaware and Raritan Canal can be in-
creased by 28 million gallons daily. The total net dependable
supply, including that developed by the natural runoff on Six Mile
Run, will be 38 million gallons daily. We have been working
closely with local and county officials in Franklin Township and
64 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
Somerset County to develop this multi-purpose water and recrea-
tional facility which will produce great benefits for the entire area.
In parallel developments, preliminary engineering studies and
land-value appraisals have been completed for a third reservoir
system on the Manasquan River. This system is designed to meet
the expanding needs of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Also,
the site of the lower intake reservoir adjacent to Allaire State
Park is about to be acquired.
In addition to our State's reservoir program as such, three new
reservoir projects approved by the State Council of Water Policy
and Supply have been developed in recent years by local water
supply interests to meet the demands of their respective service
areas. The latest of these to be readied for service is the Point
View Reservoir.
Progress has also been made in the state-wide investigation of
ground water resources which is of special interest to the coastal
plain areas of South Jersey. In this ground water survey the
United States Department of the Interior is a full participant with
New Jersey — another vivid example of the federal-state partner-
ship which means so much to the people of New Jersey.
A CONTINUING DANGEB
While New Jersey is blessed with rich ground water resources
in the coastal plain area, such fresh resources are subject to
contamination by salt water as a result of excessive pumping.
Three studies of salt water intrusion have been completed and
released. One of these has revealed the need for immediate action
in the Sayreville area. Preliminary engineering studies are near
completion. At the appropriate time I shall request authorization
by the Legislature to acquire the site and begin construction of a
tidal dam and recharge pond on the South River. Early action on
this project is essential to protect the Old Bridge formation from
the salt water encroachment which destroyed much of the Far-
rington Sands water bearing strata more than three decades ago.
This development will augment the natural yield of the Old Bridge
Sands water bearing strata by an estimated 30 million gallons
daily by recharge from the South River.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 65
As has been true in other fields, New Jersey achieved another
first when, by virtue of the Private Surface Water Diversion Act
of 1963, we established 100 per cent regulatory right over our
water resources. This Act has insured that these vital assets will
be wisely and effectively utilized.
The comprehensive program of the States of New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania and Delaware and the Federal government to
harness and conserve the waters of the Delaware River Basin has
evidenced sustained progress by the Delaware River Basin Com-
mission during the past year. Water supply policies adopted and
budgetary actions recommended would insure the timely progress
of construction of major multi-purpose dams and reservoirs within
the Basin, including Tocks Island. This has protected New
Jersey's interests on a truly state-wide basis. Tocks Island and
the other Basin projects will guarantee the maintenance of
adequate flow in the Delaware River and will protect South
Jersey's water supply for generations to come.
Our State program of developing water resources is one of the
most enlightened in the Nation. As Governor of New Jersey I
have confidence that we have secured an adequate water supply for
this State well into the 21st Century. We must, however, never
forget our obligation to future generations to preserve our exist-
ing water resources and to continue the battle against the pollution
of our streams and waterways. More and more we must use these
streams as sources of supply and conduits to distribute water.
The bright hopes mentioned by our President for the purity of
America's water supply we hope will come to fruition in New
Jersey and be aided by the establishment here of a Federal water
pollution laboratory for the Middle Atlantic States.
The Vision of Green Acres
The past year was one of continued accomplishment in our
State's Green Acres Open Space Land Conservation Program.
During 1964, the State doubled the acreage acquired in the first
two years of the program, bringing the total to 30,000 acres of
land purchased or under contract for purchase. Last year, the
number and amounts of grants paid to counties and municipalities
66 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
under the Green Acres Matching Assistance Program was more
than doubled.
Green Acres has already provided the people of New Jersey
with many significant new park and other outdoor recreation
areas. Lake Wawayanda, Greenwood Lake shore, Palisades-
Alpine area, Corsons Inlet Beach, and the Collier's Mills addition
among a number of others have been added to our State's im-
pressive inventory of public parks and forests.
To help preserve the natural beauty of the Palisades and hand
down to succeeding generations some knowledge of the historical
fullness of the events which occurred there during the War for
our Independence, we have moved promptly to acquire open space
there which otherwise could be destroyed by commercial en-
croachment.
In 1964, Green Acres added to Shepard Lake tract to Ringwood
State Park, the area at the lighthouse at Cape May Point, the
Double Trouble tract, a major portion of Monmouth Battleground,
and many conservation acres of wetland along the Atlantic and
Delaware Bay coast.
Scheduled to be purchased in the coming months are such
significant areas as Liberty Park, overlooking not only the Statue
of Liberty but the recently recommended national historical site on
Ellis Island in New York Harbor, Great and Little Piece
Meadows, Troy Meadows, Hackettstown Reservoir and recreation
site, Cedar Island, Higbee Beach, and many other natural areas.
NEW JERSEY A MODEL
In fulfilling the mandate of the people, our State has demon-
strated the leadership and foresight which has made our Green
Acres Program a model for similar open space land conservation
programs in the Nation. And the people are sharing in this leader-
ship, in the form of the consultation and assistance the Department
of Conservation and Economic Development is receiving from the
Green Acres Citizens Advisory Committee.
Our pioneering efforts in this vital field have resulted in extra
benefits under the provisions of the Federal Open Space Assistance
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 67
Program of the HHFA. New Jersey presently has pending
applications totaling nearly $7 million which will be used to make
further State land acquisitions.
The total commitments of the Green Acres Program now in-
clude 122 projects involving approximately 5,000 parcels com-
prising 175,000 acres. Under the matching program, in addition
to the grants paid, the State has given at least preliminary approval
to 194 local applications. Nine of our counties and 83 munici-
palities have made one or more applications in this program.
It is now imperative that we act forthwith to implement and
prepare our lands for early and multi-purpose use. The Federal
government has recognized the outdoor recreation needs of our
citizens in the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1964.
The Department of Conservation and Economic Development is
actively pursuing the State's participation in this federal-state
matching assistance fund for the development of these land areas.
The entrance, admission and recreation use fees that will accrue
to the State as soon as these new areas can be opened to the public
will help sustain and maintain these properties ; but meanwhile, it
is incumbent upon all of us to recognize and support the capital
improvements and maintenance programming that will be required
to continue New Jersey's progress in recreation.
Enjoyment of the Land
In our continuing efforts to provide parks and recreational
facilities for the people of New Jersey, I am happy to list the
following among our accomplishments during 1964:
1. Completion of more than 750 new campsites throughout
the State to more than triple the number available.
2. Construction of a new bathhouse and 800-car parking lot
at Sandy Hook State Park.
3. Completion of a new general utility building at Island
Beach State Park.
4. Completion of a new Batsto Recreation-Reception Center
Building and formal opening of the Revoluntionary War
Iron Center.
68 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
5. Completion of a new day use area with expanded picnic
facilities and new bathing area at Stokes State Forest to
accommodate 2,000 persons.
6. The acquisition of the new 541 -acre Shepard Lake addi-
tion to Ringwood State Park under the Green Acres Pro-
gram, and the opening of this Park to the public.
7. The opening of Wawayanda State Park, consisting of
more than 4,000 acres for a variety of uses, including
boating, hiking and fishing.
8. The addition of aproximately 10,000 acres of land for
development as hunting and fishing areas with suitable
facilities.
9. Installation of ticket-dispensing machines at major park
areas to speed up the flow of traffic and save operating
costs.
10. As a result of thorough research, 376 historic roadside
markers were placed throughout the State for the further
enrichment of our citizens' understanding of its magnificent
heritage.
Constantly seeking new ways to protect the State's existing
resources, we have established a Conservation Law Enforcement
Board to direct the overall enforcement of the conservation laws.
This Board provides for maximum utilization of men and equip-
ment, including the use of radar, helicopters, mobile and marine
patrols on a coordinated basis. One significant result of its
activities has been a marked decrease in the littering of our coast.
This is an important factor in the protection of our seashore and
our resort industry.
Strict enforcement of New Jersey's boating laws by paid
marine patrolmen resulted in the safest boating season in our
history last year. Despite the record number of 200,000 boats on
New Jersey waters, the number of fatalities in 1964 dropped to
16 as compared with 32 in 1963. And we have fostered the con-
tinuing growth of recreational boating in another significant way.
This administration encouraged and has signed into law a pro-
vision removing the threat of local property taxation from pleasure
boats. The Legislature has indicated its intention to substitute a
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 69
registration system, this yield of which would be used for the
improvements of waterways.
Urban Areas — An Opportunity for Action
New Jersey has set a national standard in the conservation and
preservation of natural resources with our Green Acres program
of open space acquisition, development of State parks and forests,
and a far-reaching water resources development program. But it
is equally essential and the opportunity is again present, for our
State to seek leadership in the vital field of developing and con-
serving our urban resources.
DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS
The need for a Department of Community Affairs becomes
more urgent almost daily. President Johnson has spoken per-
suasively of the need for a similar agency on the federal level.
And we, the most urban state in the nation, with 85 per cent of our
citizens in urban areas, can no longer ignore the obvious need for
the new department at the State level. It is needed to administer
the many programs and bring together for better service the
various agencies whose major responsibilities are directed toward
serving our local communities.
I advanced the concept of this new Department in my campaign
for the governorship in 1961. Early in this administration we
began a careful effort to implement the idea. A painstaking study
developed specific and well-documented recommendations. Last
year, we introduced legislation carrying out the report of this
study. The plan has won commendation from numerous groups
concerned with the administration of local government. It has
been discussed in a number of significant public forums. The
Legislature has had extensive opportunity for review of the
proposals.
The cost of this Department would be modest indeed when com-
pared with the efficiency and service it could bring to local govern-
ment and to State agencies serving the counties and municipalities.
To date, the Legislature has ignored this proposal. I call on you
to take action in 1965 for a Department of Community Affairs on
70 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
behalf of improved government on the level at which it is closest
to the people.
MIDDLE-INCOME HOUSING
The present deficit in New Jersey's middle-income housing
supply is estimated at 100,000 units and growing. It is obvious
that this is the area of need that private enterprise has not been
able to fill, and, therefore the State must take the initiative.
The middle-income housing program I proposed last year,
using low interest, long-term State financing, would in effect
permit private developers to construct housing which our middle-
income families can afford. This program would aid the con-
struction industry and set an example of cooperative effort by
government and private industry to meet a serious need in our
society. It would apply to all municipalities in the State and not be
restricted only to first class cities. I again commend this matter
to your attention.
HOUSING FOR THE ELDERLY
In the field of housing for the elderly, our State can indeed be
proud of its accomplishment. We have more low-rent public hous-
ing for the elderly than any other state. A good beginning has
been made in the middle-income housing for the elderly program
administered by the Community Facilities Administration. Under
this program, which provides low interest, long-term loans to
private, non-profit corporations, consumer cooperatives and certain
public agencies, three projects have been approved and several
more are in planning.
But the need for this type of housing will continue to increase
as our population grows older and medical progress prolongs life
spans. We must be alert to our future needs and be prepared to
provide this housing. I am therefore requesting the Bureau of
Housing to analyze our future needs in this vital field and prepare
a program of State participation to meet them.
URBAN RENEWAL
The Federal urban renewal program offers tremendous potential
in revitalizing our cities, preventing and clearing blight, and cor-
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 71
recting the effects of many years without planning. Close to fifty
New Jersey municipalities have initiated 105 urban renewal proj-
ects, representing a gross investment of $370 million.
Under present federal legislation, one-third of the total cost
must be borne by our local communities and two-thirds by the
Federal government. In many communities, the one-third require-
ment poses a real deterrent and has resulted in deferment of many
projects.
If we are to achieve the real potential of urban renewal in our
State and develop the improved environment which will provide
benefits for all aspects of our society — residential, commercial
and industrial — the State must be prepared to invest in the future
and render direct financial assistance to our local municipalities.
Here again, an increased level of State revenues is vital. With
new resources, the local financial burden could be eased, permitting
acceleration of the program to rebuild our communities. The in-
creased ratables resulting from urban renewal, the saving in
municipal services, and the strengthening of our local economic
opportunities would make State participation a unique investment
for the future of all our citizens.
The Search for Economic Strength
In the past three years, and particularly in 1964, our State and
Nation have enjoyed one of the greatest periods of economic
prosperity and expansion in our history. It can truly be said that
we now are in the second industrial revolution. The birth of this
great economic era has been fostered by our extraordinary
scientific and technological achievements. New Jersey is among
the leading states in research and development, international com-
merce and industrial investment for new plants and equipment —
each a basic index of the new industrial era. As the most urban
State in the nation and with our exploding population growth, with
intensive automation in manufacturing, and with the essential
need for new jobs, we must be quick to recognize the obsolescence
of plant equipment and techniques, particularly in our urban
centers; we must meet the challenge of competition from other
72 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
states, and we must prepare the rapid and constant change of
emphasis in defense-oriented industries and in almost every other
field of industrial endeavor.
While we have achieved, over the years, considerable success
within the present framework of our economic development
structure, we should carefully scrutinize the structure itself to
determine what changes are necessary to ensure that our State
continues to remain the leader in these fields.
I believe we have demonstrated during the past year the ability
to move in a decisive and positive manner. Among our achieve-
ments has been the establishment of an International Commerce
Section in the Department of Conservation and Economic Develop-
ment, a move vigorously supported by leading manufacturers. We
have opened the first out-of-state commerce and promotional office
at Rockefeller Center. We distribute at this center material and
information on New Jersey's tourist and resort centers, industrial
potential and commercial opportunities.
AN EXACTING SCIENCE
Industrial development is rapidly becoming an exacting science.
To meet the ever-mounting competition, many state development
agencies are analyzing in detail the components of their respective
economies to determine their strengths and weaknesses. Industries
today do not capriciously or arbitrarily locate their new facilities.
Decisions of the magnitude that these moves entail are made only
after months and, in many cases, years of research and analysis of
all factors which could conceivably affect the companies. And
these state industrial development agencies are being staffed and
manned by personnel who can communicate convincingly and
knowledgeably on these topics; and they are prepared to answer
questions, often highly technical and complex, which industries
need to make their decisions.
We must recognize that New Jersey's prominence in our
nation's economic structure cannot be maintained, in the face of
the present fierce competition for new industry and new job
opportunities, without decisive action.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 73
To meet this challenge I recommend the establishment of a full
Division of Economic Development with broadly expanded
responsibilities to replace the present Bureau of Commerce.
I further recommend the formation within this Division of a
broadly representative New Jersey State Economic Development
Council to aid and promote sound industrial development and
expansion as part of this major reorganization of the State's
economic effort. The Council would advise the Commissioner and
the Division on policy relating to all phases of the State's develop-
ment program, and would serve as liaison with all phases of
private business endeavor within New Jersey.
BROAD REPRESENTATION
The Council would be composed of representatives of the top
echelon of industry, labor, banking and finance, commerce, utilities
and the professions. New Jersey would draw upon their expertise,
experience and knowledge in their respective fields to promote a
complete community of endeavor for the future economic well
being of the State.
Within the Division a new convention and tourist bureau would
be established to aid and assist New Jersey's largest single industry
— the $2 billion-a-year resort and tourist trade which comprises
the economic base for over one hundred New Jersey munici-
palities. Its function would afford effective coordination with the
resort organizations to formulate publicity campaigns and con-
vention and tourist attraction programs.
New Jersey must continue to advance decisively in the field of
international commerce, finding new markets for New Jersey
products and attracting overseas investments to our State. This
would be another important operation of the new Division.
A prime function of the Division would encompass all phases of
the State's industrial and commercial development. It would have
major responsibility for the direct solicitation of firms and would
assist prospective industries in finding suitable locations within the
State. Experienced technical representatives would be assigned to
work within specific industrial specialties such as research and
74 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
development, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and the many
others that contribute to our total economic structure. Teams of
specialists made up of industrial and labor representatives of the
industry involved as well as State personnel, would act as economic
task forces, bringing to each industrial mission the full economic
resources of the State — public and private.
ANOTHER APPROACH
And I propose that we broaden those resources. The traditional
approach of this and other states to industrial development has
been in the area of advertising-related promotion. While I am
convinced that we must continue to make known New Jersey's
manifest advantages through these means, the sophisticated nature
of today's competition for industry demands more.
I propose, therefore, that our State program be reoriented to
encourage industries to find out the facts about New Jersey on an
economically scientific basis. In this first year, I recommend that
a special fund of $200,000 be established for a program in which
the State would agree to pay up to 50 per cent of the cost of
approved surveys which would explore the feasibility of con-
templated private investment in New Jersey. The State, of course,
would have to be satisfied that :
1. The proposed private investment would contribute to
New Jersey's economy and to the creation of jobs here;
and
2. There would have to be reasonable prospect that the
survey would result in an investment.
The survey would normally explore and analyze the technical
economic feasibility of proposed investments. This would include
analysis of the potential market, plant location, raw material
availability, zoning requirements, topographic characteristics,
labor supply, profitability and other financial considerations.
If the prospective investor proceeds with the project following
the survey and his undertaking is successful, he would be expected
to repay to the State those funds which have been advanced to him.
The investor would retain exclusive rights to the survey. But if
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 75
the prospective investor does not undertake the investment under
study, the survey would then become the property of the State
government for use in other industrial development efforts.
I think you will agree that industries which take this business-
like look at New Jersey will find our State attractive and will
invest here. I believe this approach, which stresses a hard look
where it counts, will represent a meaningful broadening of the
promotional-type programs we are now conducting. Furthermore,
the funds which we shall continue to appropriate for industrial
promotion would be used to disseminate information on this new
industrial survey program.
A STATISTICAL RESERVOIR
This intensified effort to win new industry would depend, in
great part, on a full reservoir of economic data, especially statis-
tical information. This material should be readily available to the
industrial service information center that would be part of the new
Division of Economic Development. Here would be a dramatic
use for electronic data processing equipment to be employed by the
State government on an interdepartmental basis. I discuss that
program in fuller detail elsewhere in this message.
We are challenged today to provide a livelihood for new millions
of New Jerseyans in coming decades. This requires an administra-
tive structure that can meet and surpass our competition. I
believe that the economic development program that I have
proposed for your consideration will maintain and enhance New
Jersey's leadership in this basic responsibility of government.
Labor, A Changing Demand
Industry in New Jersey is strongly oriented toward research
and the technical areas of manufacturing. Our county colleges
promise to play an increasingly important role in meeting the
need of numbers of skilled technicians. We must insure that the
development of these institutions meets the particular requirements
of our industry and the economy as a whole.
I would hope that labor and business will take an active interest
in the development and direction of the colleges and their vital
role in strengthening New Jersey manpower resources.
76 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
The Department of Labor and Industry will continue to work
closely with New Jersey business and industry to obtain advanced
notice of impending job displacements as insights into longer
range manpower develops.
Defense Department policies are having a profound effect on
employment patterns in defense-oriented industries and areas
surrounding military installations. We will take every action to
minimize the disruption of our labor force and the impact of these
changes on our local economies.
I have repeatedly fought not only to retain existing defense
work and installations but to bring additional Federal work into
the State. I am pleased to report that where we have lost a Federal
installation — such as the Raritan Arsenal — there have been
developed by careful planning great new industrial parks which
will create hundreds of new jobs.
TRENDS AND NEEDS
In the area of labor activity last year, there were exhibited the
signs of growth and change which are the mark of this State.
Current trends indicate continued expansion in 1965 with growth
in personal income and employment matching or exceeding 1964.
Total employment, now nearly 2.5 million, is at an all-time high.
Throughout 1964 the jobless rate was the lowest since 1956.
The Cabinet Economic Committee, created by the administra-
tion has documented the hallmarks of growth in almost every area
of our economic life.
However, our record of accomplishment leaves much unfinished
business. General prosperity is of little consequence to the workers
displaced by automation and technological change, to the young
worker ill-prepared to take his place in an increasingly competitive
job market, or to the many thousands of workers who remain
unprotected by legislation on our books. Over the years our labor
laws have been riddled by exceptions and their floor of protection
remains inadequate for the high cost of the basic American
standard of living in the 1960's.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 77
THE JOB AHEAD
This Legislature inherits from its predecessors the need to
address itself to :
* A meaningful minimum wage bill without those countless
exceptions perennially proposed in the Senate so that full-
time working heads of families do not remain on a roster
of the working poor.
* Prompt enactment of the modern comprehensive worker
health and safety bill. Present law hampers modern indus-
trial processes and leaves a million workers wholly un-
protected in their work places.
* Prompt action on the recommendations of the Joint Legis-
lative Study Commission on Workmen's Compensation.
* A review and adjustment of benefit rate schedules of
workmen's compensation, unemployment insurance and
temporary disability benefits in the light of current
circumstances.
* Development of a labor relations law which will facilitate
and expedite peaceful settlement of labor-management
disputes, including those in industries franchised by the
State.
In many other areas our Department of Labor and Industry is
working to improve opportunities for those who seek employment
in New Jersey. The past year has seen substantial improvements
in the housing of the migrant worker, with improved sanitation
and heating facilities. Central heating systems have been installed
in more than 80 camps, and indoor facilities for bathing and
washing have replaced hand pumps.
Regulations governing the installation of heating facilities have
been developed with safety experts and will be issued in 1965 as a
further safeguard of lives and property.
Continued mechanization of farming will further reduce the
number of jobs for migratory workers. If they are to be produc-
tive members of society, they must be equipped with the necessary
skills to take their place in vastly different jobs. Our State Office
of Economic Opportunity is working with the Department of
78 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
Labor and Industry, the Department of Education, and the com-
munities of the State to develop programs to train the migratory
worker.
The Link of the Economy — Transportation
Few problems involve New Jersey citizens so immediately as
their daily confrontation with inadequacies of transportation. The
vexations of traffic congestion, insufficient parking facilities, un-
certain commuter railroad service and the tragedy of a steadily
rising highway death toll are constant concerns for all of us.
And nowhere in America are the problems of transportation
more acute than in our State — the most highly urbanized and
heavily traveled in the Nation. Our widely dispersed industry,
combined with a growing urban mobile population, impose ever-in-
creasing demands for an improved transportation system. We are
a motorized society. The number of motor vehicles owned and
driven by New Jersey residents has tripled in the past generation
to almost 3 million this year. We now have almost one vehicle
for every two residents. This trend shows no sign of leveling off.
Estimates show that registrations a generation hence will reach
almost 6 million. These figures speak for themselves and must
concern all who live and work in our State.
Only through foresight and advance planning can we safeguard
the established patterns of our community life against unnecessary
disruptions and insure the most effective use of all forms of
transportation. The present Federal Highway program makes no
provision for sharing the costs of adapting our roads to recognize
their impact on our communities and on the natural beauty of our
countryside. The Congress will soon be considering new legisla-
tion to succeed the present Interstate Highway program. I will
urge them to build into this new program provisions to permit us
to plan our highways so as to harmonize with their environment.
Transportation must advance our economy, but not at the cost of
destroying our neighborhoods.
I 1 1 1 ; EFFORT TO KEEP PACE
During the past 10 years New Jersey has made strenuous and
often pioneering efforts to meet the transportation challenge, yet
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 79
the available financial resources have constantly been inadequate
and the list of our needs has grown even longer. The State High-
way Department has taken significant steps in the past three years
in its all-out battle to modernize our overloaded highway system.
For instance, the last two annual construction programs of the
Department — totaling about $350 million — represent a major
advance in fiscal planning. The Department achieved the difficult
goal of matching all available Federal aid one year in advance of
the time when some of it would ordinarily have become available.
This was accomplished as a direct result of an accounting modern-
ization program within the Highway Department which began
shortly after this administration came into office. This manage-
ment effort, among other things, permits faster and more effective
use of available State funds.
Much has also been accomplished in the field of electronic high-
way engineering, utilizing machines installed in 1962. Engineering
problems are being solved more rapidly with great savings.
Another important development has been the use of electronically
processed safety data to help establish priorities for remaining
projects in the Department's present Master Plan. Roving teams
of traffic engineers form a mobile safety division, to check con-
tinuously for highway design deficiencies at high-accident locations.
Recent years have seen increased emphasis on the planning which
is so essential to the continuing development of adequate systems.
We have recognized the importance of a balance of all modes of
transportation and have developed programs designed to move
people, rather than merely automobiles. At both ends of the State,
executive leadership has played a crucial role in forging inter-
governmental and interstate arrangements to secure comprehensive
planning. The Penn-Jersey Transportation Study promises to
provide a blueprint for sound transportation in the Philadelphia-
Camden region and, in the New York metropolitan area, the Tri-
State Transportation Committee has been engaged in the most
comprehensive regional transportation study ever undertaken in
this country. In other urban areas of our State, planning groups
have been established by the Highway Department. Moreover, in
order to create an overall transportation policy for the State, I
80 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
have appointed an Advisory Committee on Transportation, con-
sisting of Karl E. Metzger, Paul L. Troast and G. Raymond
Wood, and I am pleased to report that this group has already
made a start in its studies for a State plan.
METROPOLITAN GAINS
Through the efforts of our State government, regional mass
transit improvements have been accomplished in both of our
metropolitan areas — the Delaware River Port Authority's Kirk-
wood Transit Line in Camden County and the Port of New York
Authority's acquisition and improvement of the Hudson and Man-
hattan Tubes. Rehabilitation of the Hudson Tubes is proceeding
rapidly and some new cars are about to be placed in service. Only
a few months from now, in June, with the delivery of 162 new cars
— the only all-air conditioned rapid transit fleet in the Nation will
be in use.
Continuance of railroad commuting service has been assured
for the time being by passenger service contracts covering the
principal commuter lines and a start has been made on reorganiz-
ing rail service on a sounder basis. The integration of the Boon-
ton Line and Greenwood Lake Division on the Erie-Lackawanna
was accomplished last year — not only benefiting the railroad
substantially by reducing its operating costs, but providing better
service for many commuters. Construction to consolidate the
passenger facilities of the Pennsylvania and Central Railroads
under the Aldene Plan is under way.
In highway construction we can also report progress. More
than a quarter of a billion dollars worth of highway construction
has been completed in New Jersey since January 1, 1962. Yet
this amount plainly has been insufficient when one considers the
towering cost of highway construction in this urbanized state.
New Jersey ranks third among all the states, in fact, in the cost
per mile of constructing its highways, and costs of $10 million a
mile in our urban areas are not unusual as compared with an
average nationwide cost $1 million a mile for interstate high-
ways. Acquiring land for highways is also a major problem in a
state such as ours where open space is being consumed rapidly.
TUESDAY, JANUAEY 12, 1965 81
As the demand for space builds up, the cost of land for highways
skyrockets.
This past year has seen the opening of the Bergen Expressway
from the George Washington Bridge to the Garden State Park-
way. Significant sections of Interstate Routes 287 and 295 have
been opened to traffic. Route 3, the major approach to the
Lincoln Tunnel, has been greatly improved all the way to Route
20 and the bottleneck at the Hackensack River eliminated. In the
southern part of the State the Atlantic City Expressway from
Camden is now a reality, and purchase of right-of-way for the
Route 55 Freeway has started. The Cape May-Lewes Ferry is
in operation and the Gloucester-Chester Bridge has been approved.
In the center of the State, planning has started on a Trenton spur
to the Turnpike which will connect with a modernized and dualized
Route 33 to give rapid and convenient access between Trenton
and the Jersey Shore.
Progress has likewise been made in the area of research and
traffic safety. Experiments are progressing with low-level lighting,
special pavement protection and the development of pavement
designs of greater strength and durability. The products of past
research — center barriers, jug-handle turns and creeper lanes —
are modernizing our highways throughout the State and saving
lives.
None of these occurrences, however, detract from the fact that
we face a transportation crisis in this State. If we move forward
resolutely, our progress to date can provide a solid foundation
for the solution of our problems. If, on the other hand, we dodge
the issue, we face major risks the loss of new industry incon-
venience and danger to our people and decline in our position
as a leading business State. Despite our progress, our major
shortcomings remain inadequate staff, inability to make advance
purchases of right-of-way and lack of an adequate and stable
source of construction funds to maintain a vigorous program.
— If we had sufficient funds, for example, it would be easier
to come to agreement with local officials and residents more
82 JOUENAL OF THE SENATE
quickly on the alignment of the new freeways so badly
needed in our urban areas. These local controversies have
delayed many essential projects to the point of almost
complete frustration.
— If we had sufficient funds to invest in advance purchase
of right-of-way, the taxpayers of New Jersey would save
many millions of dollars.
— If we had sufficient funds to invest in staff, much could
be saved by eliminating the need to pay a fee, profit
included, to engineering consultants.
— If we had sufficient funds, we could maintain a meaningful
program of State aid to counties and municipalities which
would enable these local governments to contend with the
tremendous volumes of traffic entering and leaving the
State highway system.
The successes and the failures of our highway program in
meeting our transportation problems can be precisely measured
by the degree of this State's willingness to spend money.
THE COMMUTEE SPECIAL NEEDS
In the area of mass transit, I have noted that our subsidy
program has thus far preserved essential commuter service, but
all who use these services recognize the precarious nature of this
continuance. Most of our commuter railroads find themselves in
financial straits and inevitably seek to eliminate or cut down these
unprofitable services. These commuter services are essential and
they must be continued. We must mutually resolve that the
commuter lines continue to provide ample convenient service.
Last year I approved a new Railroad Passenger Service Law
which permits us to tailor the allocation of our subsidies to meet
the particular needs of each of our commuter lines. Under this
program substantially greater help is being given to those railroads
with more desperate financial need. We will continue this pro-
gram, and even modestly increase it. But the railroads on their
part must accept the responsibilities inherent in the public utility
nature of their business. We offer help and encouragement with
the consolidation and integration of commuter lines, but we shall
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 83
fight with all our strength any attempts to seek curtailment of
commuter service. We will cooperate in the projected reorganiza-
tions of the eastern railroads, but we shall insist that our railroads
participate and benefit from these consolidations, as a matter of
their survival.
The aid we have given to date has been substantial. Last year
subsidy payments amounted to $7,240,000. Since the inception
of the program, the railroads have received over $30 million from
the State. Just last month I signed a bill which offered substantial
savings to the railroads by the total elimination of Class I and
Class III taxes. Consolidation of existing lines at State expense,
as at Aldene, has and will result in substantial operating economies.
Local communities are now permitted by law to share in the cost
of maintaining and improving station facilities. Our efforts to
date have been many and they have been resolute. I invite other
suggestions from the Legislature, and I will give full consideration
to any recommendations it cares to make.
Our task — which the State has carried out alone to date — is
made the easier by the passage by Congress of the Urban Trans-
portation Act of 1964. At my direction, our Division of Railroad
Transportation is perfecting plans to have New Jersey fully
participate in this program.
The integration of commuter rail and bus service must be
encouraged. By the coordination of services and easy transfer
between various modes of transportation, needed flexibility can
be given to our fixed rail lines, making them convenient to the
commuter and relieving rush-hour congestion on our highways.
I have asked President Hyland and Commissioner Palmer to
undertake the study and implementation of this proposal.
The Broad Look, Regional Planning
Our accomplishments in the field of transportation planning
have been substantial, yet unless we take affirmative action in the
very near future our leading planning agency will be destroyed.
The Tri-State Transportation Committee cannot much longer
continue to operate under an informal executive arrangement.
To insure the development of a truly satisfactory master plan for
84 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
the development of transportation in the northern area of this
State and to meet the requirements of the Federal Highway Act
of 1962, it is imperative that a formal interstate arrangement be
legislated.
Nine million dollars, principally from Federal funds, has already
been spent in the most extensive regional planning investigation
ever conducted in this Nation. This investment must not be lost.
But beyond that, the money loss would be but a shadow of the
resultant damage to the millions who live in this region.
I intend shortly to arrange a bipartisan meeting of Governor
Rockefeller and the New York legislative leaders and our own
legislative leaders to consider this vexing problem. It is my hope
that this group will work out the final answer. When such a solu-
tion is presented, I hope you will give it your urgent and prompt
consideration, for the crucial date of July 1, 1965 — by which time
our regional relationships must have been legislatively formal-
ized— is almost upon us.
Jetport, A Continuing Search
We are all too familiar with the most recent developments con-
cerning the proposed jetport to require the repetition of these
facts. I remain firm in my conviction that a new major jetport
is a necessity to the economic growth of this entire region and
that New Jersey as a state represents the best possible location
for such an installation.
I have therefore directed Commissioner Roe and his Bureau of
Aeronautics to keep in close contact with all of the agencies that
will be concerned in a final resolution of this matter, including
the Port Authority, the Federal Aviation Administration and the
military authorities who will determine the future utilization of
McGuire Air Force Base.
I shall report promptly to you any developments concerning
this most important project.
An Urban Frontier — The Meadows
Continued progress was made this past year in our efforts to
plan for the reclamation and development of the Hackensack
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 85
Meadows, one of the last large tracts of unused land within the
metropolitan area.
The overall program is unique and is unquestionably one of the
outstanding examples of regional, local and inter-governmental
cooperation in our Nation. It is being coordinated by the
Meadowlands Regional Development Agency (MRDA), consist-
ing of 13 municipalities which share the Hackensack Meadows.
Federal, State and private agencies are also deeply involved in
the Meadowlands plan. When all the various agencies complete
their studies, we shall be well on our way to realizing the age-old
dream of putting these wetlands into productive use.
Although the planning and engineering solutions are necessary
and important first steps, dependent upon each other for the
development of a feasible and workable plan for reclamation and
development, we also recognize the multitude of jurisdictional,
fiscal and administrative problems which have impeded past at-
tempts at development. Calling upon the varied resources and
expertise of Rutgers, the State University, and with Federal
financial assistance, a joint, area-wide plan of implementation is
being formulated.
As part of the program, the Commission to Study Meadowland
Development, consisting of outstanding private citizens and chaired
by my predecessor, former Governor Robert B. Meyner, is insur-
ing that the overall public interest is considered and that all efforts
are coordinated in achieving the desired results, including the solu-
tion of riparian land problems, within the boundaries of legislation
which might have to be adopted to meet this problem which is as
old as New Jersey itself.
The dedicated efforts of all agencies at all levels of government
will lend direction to this program for application in other areas
of the State. The coordinated approach which has evolved for
the development of the Meadowlands will result in great economic
and social benefits not only to the Meadowlands communities but
to the entire State and region as well.
86 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
Federalism — The Fruits of our Partnership
New Jersey has nurtured a stronger partnership with the Federal
Government and this has had tangible meaning for our people.
In 1962, we gained for the recreational use of New Jersey and
its visitors 460 acres of Sandy Hook. Our Department of Con-
servation and Economic Development moved quickly to develop
this as a place of recreation and in its first year of operation
hundreds of thousands of people were accommodated. In 1964,
as Governor of New Jersey I had the honor of receiving from the
hands of the President of the United States the transfer documents
turning over 271 additional acres of magnificent beachfront and
bay shore area, the last such land remaining in its natural state
in this metropolitan area. This increased the size of the facility
by 60 per cent and will enable Sandy Hook this year to serve more
than a million citizens.
I think we all feel a sense of pride in this development of a
playground for all the people.
The concern of New Jersey as a state and the action of the
federal-state partnership which it invoked, has meant uncounted
benefits for our seashore area upon which depends much of our
first industry, travel and recreation. It meant salvation for sea-
shore counties devastated in the worst storm in our history. The
vigor of our municipalities in carrying their part of the burden
has helped us write together a history of courage and accomplish-
ment which will brighten the pages of New Jersey's future.
In 1965 we can look forward to financial assistance from the
Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, a grant-in-aid
matching fund program to help states plan their recreational
systems, acquire land and provide recreational facilities. This
25-year national fund would be a timely supplement to our Green
Acres program.
Also, we shall continue to participate in the Federal Housing
and Home Finance program for open space land acquisitions.
We are aware of the opportunities for Federal assistance in
geological surveys of our ground water resources and the ever-
lurking threats in some areas of salt water encroachment. And we
shall continue to work for development of off-the-right-of-way-
TUESDAY, JANUAEY 12, 1965 87
parks along our highways for motorists to rest and relax amid
nature's beauty.
The vistas before us are broad and they are bright. We move
forward into years of further accomplishment.
Public Utilities — Sensitive Regulation
In the past three years, the Board of Public Utility Commis-
sioners has guided the accomplishment of utility reductions,
refunds and other tariff revisions resulting in consumer savings
of some $24 million. During this time, the Board also has taken
decisive action in the area of public safety by investigating and
initiating legislation to eliminate the hazards of explosions attribut-
able to leaks from gas mains and distribution pipes. The safety
measures proposed by the Board finally were enacted last year,
and the Board has taken immediate steps to implement them.
The past several years have seen the growth of a new industry
known as CATV, or community antenna television service. This
is a television antenna system which receives signals transmitted
by television broadcast stations, and redistributes them by wire
or cable to members of the public who subscribe to the service.
CATV systems flourish primarily in areas which receive marginal
or intermittent TV service because of their distance from broad-
casting stations. Since long stretches of coaxial cable used in
CATV operations are subject to deterioration, resulting in pro-
gressively poorer TV signals, CATV systems often use common
carriers to provide microwave links with their antennas in order
to insure signal quality and to avoid cable failures.
An increasing number of these television systems are coming
into operation in the southern portion of New Jersey, particularly
along the Atlantic Coast. CATV companies are currently operat-
ing with a minimum amount of governmental control, and because
of their current expansion, conflicts will result between competing
companies over franchise rights. Thus we are presented with
a classic example of the birth of a public utility, with all of the
attendant hazards to the consumer of unrestrained competition
and service without prescribed standards. Legislation will soon
be introduced to regulate this new industry by bringing such
88 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
companies within the present statutory definition of the term
"public utility."
Preserving Our Agricultural Heritage
It is the firm conviction of this administration that we must
spare none of our efforts to preserve agriculture as a vital part
of the economic and social life of New Jersey. With this in mind,
we have taken significant steps which we believe are truly in the
interest of those engaged in agricultural pursuits.
Among these was the approval of a constitutional amendment
prepared by the Governor's Committee on Farmland Assessment.
This amendment permitted the assessment of farmland for tax
purposes on the basis of its use for agricultural purposes. Its
adoption and passage of implementing legislation, which was also
prepared by the Governor's Committee, comprised a significant
move to preserve the agricultural industry and the family farm
in New Jersey. It also will provide urgently needed "open space"
for all citizens.
Another important legislative achievement has been the estab-
lishment of fur farming, a $2 million annual business as an
added segment of agriculture. I am happy to report the reorgan-
ization of the Department's structure has resulted in streamlining
in all of its operations for greater efficiency in serving the farms
of New Jersey. Furthermore, the Department of Agriculture has
worked closely with the Department of Health in the establishment
of modern laboratory facilities to provide another essential and
important service for those engaged in every phase of agriculture.
These achievements have strengthened the agricultural industry
in New Jersey — a vital $300 million a year business — and will
enable it to continue as an essential segment of the economy of
the State.
A Transfer of Responsibility
With the completion of the new Health-Agriculture laboratory
building, the time is appropriate to transfer from our State Uni-
versity certain responsibilities which are the proper function of a
regulatory agency. I refer to the laws administered by the State
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 89
Chemist and State Seed Analyst at the Agricultural Experiment
Station.
I am pleased to report that a satisfactory agreement has been
reached by the Board of Governors, the State Board of Agricul-
ture, President Mason Gross and Secretary Alampi to make this
transfer.
Consequently, I shall ask your approval of appropriate legisla-
tion to assign the offices of the State Chemist and State Seed
Analyst to the State Department of Agriculture and to provide
funds for laboratory facilities to accommodate the work in the new
building of the Department.
The Fkamewoek of Government
The Legislature — Profound Changes
On June 15, 1964, the Supreme Court of the United States
signalled the end of the constitutional system of legislative repre-
sentation to which New Jersey has adhered for many years. Our
own Supreme Court has brought the message home to us by
declaring that the legislative article of the New Jersey Constitu-
tion must be adjudged to be invalid insofar as it deals with the
apportionment of the members of the Legislature. By order of
the Court, this body soon must give way to a new Legislature
to be elected next November under an apportionment plan which
meets the newly enunciated Federal standard of equal repre-
sentation for all the people of this State.
So profound an event in the history of our State and Nation
could not possibily have occurred without producing divergent
public reaction. Some have welcomed this basic change in the
structure of State government, while others have decried it and
have sought to nullify it. The responsible concensus, however,
has recognized that the time for debate on the merits of the
Supreme Court's action has passed, and that any attempt to turn
back the clock would be out of step with the progressive traditions
of this great Nation. In that spirit, the Legislature has estab-
lished a bipartisan commission of distinguished public officials
and private citizens to formulate a plan for the apportionment of
the interim Legislature which must be elected this November.
90 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
At the same time, however, there remains in the Legislature
an unfortunate but substantial undercurrent of negativism and
opposition to any change in the status quo. A resolution calling
for a constitutional amendment to permit states to apportion the
membership of one legislative house "on factors other than popu-
lation" recently was defeated in the Assembly by the narrowest
of margins. The leadership of the Senate has indicated that a
similar resolution will be introduced in that House during the
forthcoming session. Such maneuvers are associated inescapably
with certain efforts which have been made elsewhere to evade the
force of the equal protection clause of the United States Con-
stitution in related areas, and are entirely foreign to the heritage
of New Jersey.
I would urge all legislators to abandon any further efforts
in that direction, and to concentrate all their energies upon
the adoption of a meaningful apportionment plan for the next
election. It would be tragic if this, the last Legislature elected
under our present system, were best remembered only for having
presided reluctantly and bitterly over its own demise. This Legis-
lature instead could live forever in our history as the body which
paved the way for an orderly and constructive transition from the
old way to the new way, in obedience to the supreme law of the
land. The choice is yours.
TWO CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS
In addition to reapportionment, there are two other internal
legislative matters which warrant early consideration by the Legis-
lature this year. The first concerns the enactment of a workable
conflicts of interest law.
During the past session, the two Houses for the first time were
able to agree on the passage of legislation to define and prohibit
conflicts between the official obligations and the private interests
of members of the legislative and executive branches of govern-
ment. This bill embodied the approach, long favored by the Senate,
of granting to each House the exclusive power to hear and de-
termine, in closed session, all charges of impropriety against its
own members.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 91
Primarily because of my conviction that no conflicts of
interest law can be of value unless it provides the assurance of
a full and fair public hearing on such charges by an impartial
body, I found it necessary to return this measure to the Senate
with certain recommendations to strengthen it in that regard.
Specifically, I proposed that the State House Commission, as an
appropriate independent tribunal composed of responsible members
of the executive and legislative branches, be empowered to ad-
judicate the truth or falsity of complaints involving alleged viola-
tions by members and employees of both branches. This recom-
mendation was offered as a possible compromise between the
criminal sanctions preferred by the Assembly and the illusory en-
forcement provisions advocated by the Senate. To the gratification
of many, there was some indication that the Legislature might
repass the bill with the substance of my recommendations, thus
breaking a long-standing deadlock between the two Houses and
giving this State its first meaningful conflicts of interest law.
Unfortunately, this responsible action failed to materialize during
the past session. I am hopeful, however, that the Legislature in
this session will accord early recognition to its responsibilities in
this area, and that a new bill adopting my suggestions for certain
and impartial enforcement of the law will soon be introduced and
passed.
The second piece of unfinished internal business for this Legis-
lature relates to the measure enacted last year to require the
registration of "legislative agents," as that term is defined by the
act, and the filing of quarterly reports by legislative agents and
certain other persons engaged in the influencing of legislation by
direct communication. As I observed when I approved this law,
I was skeptical as to whether it would in fact establish an effective
program of lobbyist control because of its rather imprecise defini-
tions concerning those persons who are subject to its provisions.
Because of my wholehearted agreement with its stated objectives,
however, I signed this law with the understanding that it repre-
sented no more than an experimental first step which subsequently
might be extended by the Legislature on the basis of actual ex-
perience if that experience should so warrant. While the first
definite indication of this law's success or failure will not manifest
92 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
itself until the advent of the first quarterly filing date, the signs
so far have not been encouraging in terms of the number of persons
who have registered as "legislative agents." I would urge the
Legislature to watch closely the development of this situation, and
to prepare to make any necessary clarification or extension of this
law which may prove to be needed in the near future.
New Demands on the Courts
The framers of our 1947 Constitution conceived a new court
system which soon achieved international recognition as a proto-
type for the swift and impartial administration of justice. Stream-
lined in its structure, evenhanded and efficient in its operation,
distinguished by the services of many dedicated judges and in-
corporating new concepts such as pre-trial procedures, this court
system converted the abstraction of equal justice under law into an
everyday reality upon which our citizens have come to depend.
Perhaps it is ironic that while the New Jersey judicial system
continues to be admired and emulated elsewhere, serious external
pressures today threaten its continued effectiveness as an instru-
ment of justice. The world has changed during the past 17 years,
and the change has been reflected in the needs of every state. There
has been a population explosion, and the personal and business
affairs of the average person are more complex than ever before.
New social and governmental relationships have emerged, and there
are new concepts of civil duties, rights and liabilities. There has
been an increase in the crime rate, in part due to the great increase
in our population. The use of the automobile has become such a
part of modern existence as to congest our highways and con-
tribute to an alarming increase in injuries and property damage.
In another day and age, our existing court system might have
functioned effectively for many years without need for re-exami-
nation or revision. The stresses of the unique time in which we
live, however, are taking their toll and urgently suggest the need
of a comprehensive study with a view toward determining those
areas in which our judicial system should be adjusted to meet the
new circumstances which could hardly have been envisioned even
17 years ago.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 93
A BROAD REVIEW
After discussing this subject with the legislative leaders, I
have requested Princeton and Rutgers to undertake a joint study
of this problem. This analysis will be wide in scope, and will
include questions of court structure; jurisdiction and procedure;
the term, tenure, and qualification of judges ; and salary and
pension arrangements for members of the bench. While both
universities are willing to undertake this review, a project of such
magnitude will require some financial assistance by the State. I
intend to request the Legislature to make a suitable appropriation
for this purpose on the basis of cost figures which will be made
available later. I am certain that the amount involved will be
moderate, particularly in view of the benefits to be achieved, and
I commend this problem to your urgent attention.
While the results of this study may not be forthcoming in time
for early consideration by this Legislature, there are two imme-
diate and urgent needs for improvements in the court system
which no study is needed to establish, and which warrant early
legislative response.
THE UNDENIABLE NEED FOR JUDGES
The first is the undeniable need for more Superior Court
judges. An unprecedented surge of litigation has crowded the
court calendars far beyond their capacity for timely disposition
of law suits and criminal indictments. The people are being
deprived of their right to prompt redress of their legal grievances,
and the administration of criminal justice is lagging. The im-
pending breakdown in the capacity of our present bench, despite
the faithful hard work of our judges to deal with the case backlogs,
threatens the administration of justice in a very real sense.
Last year I called for legislation to increase the number of
Superior Court judges from 44 to 60, and a bill to that effect was
introduced with bipartisan sponsorship. However, a committee
substitute limited the number of new judgeships to eight. While I
am gratified that the Legislature was partially responsive to the
problem I must reiterate that the additional judges are urgently
needed by the people of New Jersey. I am hopeful that the
Legislature will act soon to provide them.
94 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
SALARY INCREASES AX IMMEDIATE CONCERN
The bipartisan proposal last year also provided for compre-
hensive increases in the salary of judges with the necessary cost
to be defrayed by increasing certain court fees, which had not
been elevated since 1955. This request was not acted upon by the
Legislature.
Meanwhile, in the Federal system substantial increases have
been made in the salaries of all Federal judges, which brings
into sharp focus the failure of our judicial salaries to be com-
pensatory in terms of the rising cost of living.
No court system can be better than the judges who are called
upon to exercise its functions. Thus far we have been fortunate,
perhaps more fortunate that we could expect, in the high caliber
of men who have forsaken lucrative law practices to ascend to
the bench. The fact that such men have subordinated material
rewards to the ideal of public service cannot excuse us from
compensating them on a scale which will enable them to meet
their reasonable personal and family requirements and expenses.
Judicial salaries in New Jersey have fallen markedly out of step
with today's cost of living. For this reason, it has become
increasingly difficult to attract the best qualified and otherwise
willing attorneys to a judicial service which entails so much
financial sacrifice. Although public service traditionally and
properly is not the road to wealth, it should never become a calling
in which only those of independent means or fortune can partici-
pate, or a sinecure for those who do not meet the high qualifications
which we expect of our judges. I seriously urge that the Legisla-
ture consider this problem with realism and wisdom during this
session.
The Ski; vice of the Public
State government exists for the benefit of nearly seven million
citizens. But it has a special relationship to employees at local
as well as State level — those people responsible for the effective
functioning of government. And like any employer, the State
has a responsibility for the reasonable protection of those public
servants who in turn show loyalty to the State through their
industry and efficiency.
TUESDAY, JAN! AIM 12, L965
We have instituted, through our Department of Civil
a variety of modern personnel programs to enhai bility
of public employees, One result is the fact that, in the- State
service, our employees render a professional performance that has
helped New Jersey achieve the lowest per capit i
ment < >f any of the fifty stat<
It \^ appropriate to review a number of personnel programs
undertaken by the Department in recent years to demonstrate the
variety of it- accomplishments. They include:
Major expansion in the use of practical performai
for technically skilled positions instead of the former i
plete reliance on written examinati*
A broadening of the program for Civil Service examina-
tions for all levels of government, [nstead of limiting tests
to Friday evenings and Saturday-, they are being held
throughout the week-, thus permitting quicker scheduling
after public announcement , shorter waiting periods for
issuance of employment lists and, as a result, maintenance of
interest by applicants for public employment.
A wide ranging program of classification and salary sur-
veys for government at all levels. ( )ver the past three year-.
sixty-six such surveys were made by the Department, review-
ing the duties of more than 23.000 employees. In th<
fiscal year, one of these projects included classiffcati
reclassification of 5,200 positions in the State service.
A GOAL OF EXCELLENCE
A sharp growth of in-service training programs condu
by the Department. In fiscal 1962, 27? executive empl
were involved in such training courses. The following year
there were 625, and in 1964 we trained 844. This rise was
achieved with no increase in training staff. Semi-annual
meetings of graduates of the Management Training Seminar
have been instituted to reinforce the original training. Based
on the success of this seminar with State officials, a similar
program was begun for county and municipal executives in
1963. This is the only program oi its type in the Nation.
96 JOURNAL OF THE SEXATE
Stepped up recruitment efforts among college seniors and
recent graduates which resulted in an increase in graduates
attracted to our college classification tests from 900 in 1962
to 1,438 in 1964.
A helpful factor in the Expansion of the State Employees'
Suggestion Program was an increase from $1,000 to $1,500
in the maximum award. Last year these suggestions saved
the State more than $144,000.
These activities comprise a major aspect of our personnel pro-
gram. But as every businessman recognizes, an employer must
manifest a concern for the material welfare of the men and women
who staff his enterprise if that enterprise is to succeed.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The State government has been engaged in a continuing effort
to shape a program of public employee benefits in an era when
such employer concern is a daily fact of life. We believe that
improvement of benefits has kept pace with developments in private
industry.
Pensions have received particular attention. In 1962, we enacted
legislation to restore to certain disadvantaged members of the
Public Employees' Retirement System and Teachers' Pension and
Annuity Fund pension benefits which they had been led to expect
but which had been foreclosed by abrupt changes in Federal law.
In 1963, also in fulfillment of a pledge to the people, I was privi-
leged to sign into law a bill permitting members of the retirement
systems to purchase substantial supplemental retirement benefits
based on the variable annuity concept. Last year, we took further
action to improve inadequate pensions.
The entire benefit and contribution schedules of the Police and
Firemen's Retirement System and the Consolidated Police and
Firemen's Fund were revised only last month. Also in 1964, we
took action to protect widows' pensions in the Prison Officers'
Pension Fund. Other recent legislation permitted increases in the
contributory insurance programs of the several systems and
allowed the purchase or grant of additional prior service credit.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 97
Last year we extended the State Health Benefits Program to
provide basic hospitalization and medical-surgical coverage, as
well as major medical insurance protection to teachers and other
county and municipal employees, while extending the program to
retired employees for the first time.
These achievements, however, should not becloud the need for
continued improvement of employment conditions. At one time,
the security and other benefits connected with public service made
it highly competitive with private employment, although public
salaries frequently were lower. Today, the situation has changed.
Security is a major consideration with private firms, and many
of our latest " fringe benefits" are modeled on existing private
programs.
COMPETITIVE SALARIES
There is a further competitive factor — the attraction of the
Federal service. This has been enhanced by the recent action of
Congress in voting a substantial salary increase for the entire
Federal establishment.
Although salary adjustments have raised average State salaries
from $4,800 in 1962 to $5,300 in 1964, and the minimum State
salary from $2,500 to $3,042 in that period, we have not kept
pace with salary improvements in private industry and with the
Federal government.
Therefore, in my fiscal message, I will make detailed proposals
to bring State salaries into better line with changing conditions.
This consideration must include the principal executives of State
government, the department heads whose salary levels are dis-
proportionately low compared with those with comparable respon-
sibilities in the Federal government or in neighboring states.
Similarly, we must take steps to maintain the traditional high
quality of the judiciary. I outline elsewhere in the message my
suggestions concerning the courts.
Thus, the Legislature and Governor are called on to assume the
obligations of a responsible employer. I am most hopeful that we
will not shirk that responsibility.

Advances in Electronic Data Processing
To improve the administrative efficiency of State government,
a significant effort is being made to expand the use of electronic
data processing. This effort yields a double benefit. First, the
use of the data processing technique has enabled us to forestall
immediate additional costs. But more importantly, it has made
it possible for the State to meet growing workloads with minimum
additional costs.
In the current fiscal year the State budget has provided
$1,178,222 for data processing equipment rentals and purchased
services, to enable the speedy and economical issuing of our driver
licenses and vehicle registrations, auditing tax returns, preparing
hospital patient billings, issuing our employee paychecks, design-
ing highways, issuing unemployment benefit checks, maintaining
our pension records, compiling the Table of Equalized Valuations,
and a growing list of other vital tasks.
At present the State is conducting advanced data processing
studies in the following areas :
1. The Division of Motor Vehicles is seeking to reduce traffic
deaths through electronic correlation of driver records,
driver licensing, and traffic accident reports.
2. The efficiency of the State Police communications system
is being increased through electronic message switching.
3. The Department of Labor and Industry is considering the
possibility of getting New Jersey's unemployed back to
work sooner through an electronic system to match un-
employed skills with job opportunities.
4. Initial steps have been taken to utilize electronic data
processing techniques in legislative research and bill drafting.
5. The Treasury Department is actively studying the feasibility
of integrating, through electronic data processing, present
budgeting, accounting, and procurement operations.
In planning for the future use of this effective administrative
and management tool, the State is proceeding on two fronts.
First, we will continue to evaluate and coordinate data processing
installations for better utilization. Second, we will continue to
TUESDAY, JANUABY 12, 1965 99
analyze and to select other activities in the State government that
offer feasibility and opportunity for improved efficiency through
the application of electronic data processing.
Fiscal Responsibility
The Basic Question
I cannot close without commenting specifically upon what most
responsible people agree is the outstanding problem confronting
State government today : the need for sufficient revenue to enable
the State to meet the requirements of its people.
Although it is customary to withhold from the legislative
message discussions relating to fiscal problems, because of the
importance of this problem, I do not think a candid statement
on it should be delayed. I have, therefore, undertaken throughout
this message a discussion of many programs which will require
strong financial support in order to be implemented. The pro-
grams which I have detailed or recommended are clearly essential
to the health and welfare of our people and to the proper function-
ing of our governmental agencies both State and local. These
proposals range through the entire gamut of State activities —
from education to public health, from increased State aid to local
government to accelerated capital construction needed by the
State.
In addition to these programs, I shall submit within the next
several weeks, a report on the proposed capital improvement
program prepared by the Interdepartmental Committee for State
Planning which projects the capital requirements of State gov-
ernment for the next five years. Some of the proposals in this
report are touched upon in this message. Others will be com-
mented upon more fully in the Budget Message which I will deliver
on February 1st. It is my hope that the budget I present on that
date will provide the funds necessary to carry out our present
programs, somewhat expanded and enriched, within the existing
fiscal structure. The satisfaction of a balanced or near-balanced
budget, however, should not encourage us to ignore the price
which we must pay for such an accomplishment.
100 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
THE COST OF PROGRAMS
Many of the new programs I have set forth today are not and
cannot be paid for within the framework of our existing fiscal
structure. Their detailed costs can be calculated only after the
passage of specific legislation.
It should be apparent to all, however, that even a modest
beginning on these programs will require substantial sums. The
capital requirements for highways, higher education and mass
transportation alone must be considered on a multi-year basis
before the amounts available under any approach can be viewed
as adequate.
Any revision or expansion of the existing aid programs to
municipalities, counties and school districts can be meaningful
only if they approach, in total, an annual expenditure of about $100
million. All of this points to the inevitable conclusion that no
matter how conservative, no matter how skeptical we are as to our
total needs, even the most restrictive concepts of these needs
require a recognition that they can be satisfied only through an
expansion of the State's revenue base. This should come as a
surprise to no one.
In my Inaugural Message, three years ago, I commented that
"we must make our contribution to the common good * * * by a
willingness to accept the cost of the many services required by the
people of their State and local governments."
Two years ago, I approached the Legislature, in my Special
Message on the Bond Issue, to report on the need for additional
revenue and to suggest a method to provide the revenues required
short of the broad based taxation we have all sought to avoid.
I must say in candor that this proposal although adopted by the
Legislature, was repeatedly attacked by the political party which
now controls both Houses of this Legislature and the bond issue
was rejected by the people.
Last year, I repeated what I believe we now have come to ac-
cept— the continued need of this State for a means to satisfy the
just demands of the people. As you know, I suggested a personal
income tax capable of raising the sum of approximately $155
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 101
million a year. Again the majority party in this Legislature,
while not seriously disputing the existence of these needs, resisted
that proposal. Some of you, individually, and in response to the
dictates of conscience, recognized a need for action and suggested
an alternative broad based tax. I remarked then and I say now
that I stand ready and willing to approve any reasonable and
responsible revenue-producing measures which can provide the
means for satisfying the legitimate expectations of our people for
services and for better government.
I am not able to offer any magic or painless solution to the
fiscal problems of this State. I know of no easy way to escape the
responsibility which is ours. I have sought, in a manner which
I believe to be in keeping with my responsibilities as the Governor
of this State, and in fulfillment of my pledge to the people, to
encourage the Legislature to meet our situation in a forthright
manner. I shall continue my efforts to convince this Legislature
that we have a joint responsibility to provide the revenue needed.
In light of the record, however, I feel that it is not unrealistic
for me to state quite frankly that the next move belongs to the
Legislature. During the past year I have been reminded by some
members of this body that it is the function of the Legislature
to legislate and that the Executive should not intrude upon this
province. I respect the separation-of-powers concept and have no
wish to arrogate to myself those powers which rightfully belong
to you. But it is self-evident that those who would seek to have
power must accept with it the responsibility to use that power
wisely and for the benefit of the people they represent.
CHAPTER 51
There is one aspect of the fiscal problem which is, perhaps,
more acute than any other at this moment. I refer to the
local taxation of business personal property under Chapter 51.
As you know, Chapter 51 was a legislative proposal designed to
end the difficulties encountered in local property taxation as a
result of the court decision in Switz v. Middeltown. It was a law
enacted prior to my term of office. By legislative action, it was
postponed for three successive years. Last year the Legislature
102 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
determined that this law should go into effect despite repeated
attempts by some legislators, supported by the elected officials of
many of our municipalities, to again effect a postponement or a
repeal of this law.
We are all aware that much of the thrust behind this effort to
avoid the imposition of Chapter 51 is the fact that this law will
place the taxation of business personalty on a uniform basis for
the first time in the history of the State. While uniformity, as an
abstract concept, has much to commend it, the practical effect of
placing our local property tax system on a uniform basis will
be to shift, in some cases drastically, the tax liabilities of our
businesses and industries. Some businesses may benefit; many
others stand to incur a substantial increase in their local property
taxes. Justified though such a revision in the tax structure may
be, the adjustment in a single tax period of tax inequities built up
over many years undoubtedly will result in hardship in many
individual cases. In addition, the business personalty tax, as I
pointed out at the time that I approved the only amendments
to Chapter 51 that the Legislature would pass last year, is funda-
mentally a poor one. It is in no way related to the capacity of
business to pay and may bear more heavily on taxpayers who are
less capable of paying while it leaves virtually untouched many
more prosperous businesses.
My recent industrial trip to Europe only served to reemphasize
the pressing need for stability in the area of business taxation.
I was questioned time and again by knowledgeable European
business leaders about the local business tax situation in New
Jersey. These gentlemen know of our problems and are following
our actions.
I am convinced from discussions I have had with business
leaders in New Jersey and elsewhere that we are jeopardizing our
impressive record of industrial growth through the uncertainty
that has been created as a result of our local property tax disputes.
In many cases the concern of businessmen has been directed not
so much to the level of the taxes as it has been to the uncertainty
of the burden. Chapter 51, by imposing a uniform and relatively
well-defined method for establishing the local business tax level,
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1965 103
may serve a useful function. It may have to suffice until more
appropriate methods of taxing business personalty or taxing our
businesses and industries can be derived.
Chapter 51, by virtue of your decision last year and in view
of the Supreme Court's decision last week, is an accomplished
fact with which we must expect to live, at least for the immediate
future. I have, therefore, appointed a representative Committee
on Local Property Taxation for the specific purpose of consider-
ing the impact that this tax will have upon our communities and
our local property taxpayers. Pending their findings, we face the
stark fact that we cannot avoid the fundamental problem of
Chapter 51 ; namely, the tax shift and the resultant hardship that
must occur as we change from the previous system to the uni-
formity dictated by Chapter 51.
This, therefore, is another compelling reason why the Legisla-
ture should consider this year, expanding our existing State aid
formulas. Our municipalities will require additional revenues
to cushion the shock of such a tax shift. Without the assistance
of such revenues, many of our local property taxpayers, especially
the small businessman, will be adversely affected.
Conclusion
The executive article of our Constitution requires that ''the
Governor shall communicate to the Legislature, by message at
the opening of each regular session * * *, the condition of the
State and shall in like manner recommend such measures as he
may deem desirable." Too often the ceremonial aspects of this
annual occasion tend to obscure the fact that it represents the
observance of a solemn and functional constitutional obligation.
Our forefathers imposed this obligation with the hope that the
coming together of Governor and Legislature at the start of each
legislative session might spark an annual renewal of our mutual
dedication to the cause we serve together. Today I have com-
municated to you the condition of the State as I see it, and I have
recommended to you the important measures which I deem desir-
able at this juncture of our quest for a better way of life for all
104 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
the people. If I have communicated a sense of accomplishment, it
is because New Jersey today stands as a strong and progressive
State in many respects. Let us work together to maintain these
strengths. If I have communicated a sense of frustration and
urgency, it is because we have much unfinished business and many
unsatisfied needs. Let us work together to eliminate these
weaknesses.
Each of you has my best wishes for a happy and productive
year.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1965 195
BUDGET MESSAGE
Mr. President, Madame Speaker, Members of the Senate
and General Assembly:
I present to you today a budget which is balanced and
which requires no new taxes. Of the four budgets which it
has been my duty to draft, this is the third which maintains
taxes at existing levels.
Within New Jersey's manifest fiscal limitations — limita-
tions which I have discussed at length in my Third Annual
Message — this 1965-66 fiscal program not only will continue
our present programs in an effective manner, but it will
provide necessary expansion for many of them. Further-
more, it will undertake a number of new programs which
this administration considers essential to the progress of our
vital State. Our present fiscal framework, however, cannot
encompass all the aspirations, and even many of the basic
needs of New Jersey. For instance, we cannot undertake a
long-needed revision of our State school aid formulas to
relieve the evermore burdensome weight of local property
taxes. Nor can we fully meet New Jersey's obligation to its
youth through the needed major expansion of our colleges
and universities.
But this program does provide for the taxpayer a dollar's
worth of services for every dollar spent ; and this is reflected
in statistics that give New Jersey the lowest cost of State
government per capita1 and the lowest number of State
employees per capita1.
With prudence imposed by necessity as well as principle,
we have applied strictest priority in determining the public
needs.
Thus, I have recommended reductions in the budgets of
some departments. I feel that these reductions will not de-
tract from the departments ' abilities to function effectively
1 Source : United States Bureau of the Census.
196 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
next year. But in the majority of programs, particularly
those that deal with fundamental human problems — educa-
tion, welfare, institutions, transportation, health and con-
servation— this budget provides for broadened and en-
riched activity.
This budget is $56.6 million higher than appropriations
for the current fiscal year. This results from our rising
population, improved State services and from the changing
character of our society — a society which demands better
education and training for the young, better provision for
the increasing number of aged, new opportunities for the
deprived and handicapped and, above all, full participation
by our people in the continuing development of the greatest
society of free men our world has ever known.
Most of the increased resources available to balance this
budget are attributable to two factors: the above-average
growth of New Jersey business, and the general prosperity
of the Nation. But we should not overlook a continued striv-
ing for economy in the various State departments which
turned back to the treasury some $7.8 million in unspent
appropriations as of last June 30. On that date our surplus
was $29.1 million. On next July 1, we expect our surplus to
be a gratifying $32.5 million, principally as the result of
revenue overruns of $17.3 million during the current year.
Revenues for the fiscal year covered by this budget can be
expected to be $623 million so that, altogether, total re-
sources of more than $655.5 million will be available to cover
the expenditures I am recommending.
Because certain recommendations which I am making are
of a non-recurring, investment nature, the anticipated
revenues include a sum of $11.5 million to be derived by re-
quiring the payment of taxes on insurance premiums in the
fiscal year in which they are earned. By adopting this pay-
as-you-go principle, a non-recurring yield of $11.5 million
will be produced in 1965-66 only.
Fiscal responsibility demands that we should not apply
non-recurring revenues to recurring or continuing expendi-
tures, else we pyramid such expenditures into future years
without a known tax base to support them. Hence, I recom-
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1965 197
mend that this item of non-recurring revenue finance non-
recurring expenditures only.
While I discuss these non-recurring expenditures in the
pages which follow, I want to summarize them at this point :
Sanitary Sewerage Revolving Fund $5,000,000
Advance Purchase of Right-of-Way Revolving Fund . . 4,000,000
Acquisition of New Commuter Railroad Cars 2,000,000
Addition to Highway Office Building 980,000
Budget Requests
Department heads formally requested of the State Budget
Director $869.7 million for fiscal 1965-66. Had our revenue
structure been geared to seriously consider these requests,
my recommendations would have been considerably higher
than those presented today. Quite obviously, the area in
which the greatest cuts were made was in that of capital
construction. Very little latitude existed for reductions in
either the General State Operations or the State Aid area.
I have trimmed approximately $222 million from the
requests in arriving at the amount recommended in this
budget. Of this total, approximately $34.2 million was pared
in the General State Operations section, and State Aid
requests were reduced by approximately $28.4 million.
Requests for Capital Construction were reduced by $159.4
million. The greater part of the cut made in the capital con-
struction area was in the highway field. Our need for addi-
tional funds to accelerate our highway program has been
documented on many occasions in the past, and I see no
need for reiterating what has been stated heretofore.
Revenues
As I have noted, we have enjoyed unprecedented revenue
collections this year. It may be remembered that last year
doubts were expressed in several quarters as to our ability
to earn the sums which we anticipated for the current fiscal
year. From the results of tax collections for the first six
months of the current fiscal year, we can see that these
doubts were unfounded.
As examples, overruns are expected as follows : $4 million
from corporation taxes ; $2 million from inheritance taxes ;
$2.8 million from cigarette taxes; $3.7 million from motor
198 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
fuels and motor vehicle receipts ; and $1.5 million in earnings
on investments.
These, added to similar overruns in other areas, will
produce the $17.3 million in unanticipated revenues during
the current year. The estimates of revenues for 1965-66
have been developed on the foundation of 1964-65 and the
trend which has been apparent over the past 10 years.
Therefore, we see that New Jersey, despite the growth in
our fiscal structure, stands in a most favorable position
when compared with other states, particularly our
neighbors.
Nevertheless, there are certain segments of our revenue
raising structure that require further review. In the next
fiscal year, we anticipate $1.5 million from our recently
enacted Motor Carrier Tax. The administrative costs to
collect this tax, in my opinion, are excessive when viewed
against the actual amount collected. I have directed the
Division of Taxation to undertake this review.
Another area which should be studied with the ultimate
purpose of granting relief, since such relief seems to be
equitable, is in the field of premium taxes applicable to our
domestic life insurance industry. Among the 50 states, New
Jersey stands second — exceeded only by New York — in the
amount of assets held by domestic life insurance companies.
Present taxes assessed on premiums earned by our domestic
life insurance companies place them at a disadvantage with
competitors who can develop annuity, pension and group
health plans on which such a tax is not applicable.
I recommend that this weakness in our tax structure be
seriously studied by the Legislature so that taxes assessed
against such companies might be revised to assist our
domestic life insurance industry in retaining the enviable
position it now enjoys in this most competitive field.
The Budget in Brief
Estimated Surplus, July 1, 1965 (after providing for supple-
mentals) $32,544,690
Estimated Revenue for 1965-66 623,025,454
Total Resources for 1965-66 $655,570,144
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1965 199
Recommendations
General State Operations $297,925,996
State Aid 275,785,681
Capital Construction 73,118,072
Total Recommendations $646,829,749
Reserved 2,200,000
Estimated Surplus, June 30, 1966 $6,540,395
In arriving at the indicated net surplus of $6.5 million,
there is reserved $2.2 million for two important contin-
gencies. I am sure that all of us will wish to provide for
them when our responsibility to undertake them unfolds.
The largest portion, $1.5 million, is for the State's share
of training and re-training of unemployed and underem-
ployed persons under P. L. 8-415 of the 87th Congress,
otherwise known as the Manpower Development and Train-
ing Act. This program is now 100 per cent federally-
financed and is being operated through our State Depart-
ments of Labor and Industry and Education. Last year,
more than $2 million was spent under MDTA and it is
expected that expenditures in the current fiscal year will
reach $2.5 million. In the year ahead, expenditures are
expected to climb to at least $4.5 million. It now appears
that the Federal government may require one-third of this
cost to be matched by the State in the next fiscal year. I
shall, however, make every effort, in co-operation with New
Jersey's delegation in the Congress, to convince the Federal
government that it should continue this program without re-
quiring State matching funds. Many of those who will be
beneficiaries of this program have emigrated from states
which have had severe unemployment problems. New
Jersey's taxpayers should not be compelled to bear costs
which primarily are a national obligation. Should we fail to
obtain 100 per cent Federal funds, not only will we need
one-third in State funds, but an amendment would be needed
to our State law which now prohibits State financial
participation.
The remainder of the reserve — $700,000 — is for a con-
tingent deficit in next year's operations of our New Jersey
College of Medicine and Dentistry. "We have no basis on
which to make an appropriation as of this date, particularly
200 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
since the Board of Governors who will be responsible for
contract agreements must be given sufficient opportunity to
formulate a budget request.
The $6.5 million net surplus, approximately 1 per cent
of our total budget, is a reasonable amount to meet any
additional costs arising from future legislation, or to com-
pensate for any unforeseen reductions in revenue collections.
Education
This administration will continue to assure that education
receives the first priority in New Jersey budget making.
This we owe to our future. Recommendations in this budget
for educational purposes total $257 million, an increase of
$18.2 million, not counting the non-recurring appropriation
of $4.3 million made last December for purchase of the
facilities of the New Jersey College of Medicine and
Dentistry. Of this increase, $8.9 million is allocated to
General State Operations for education; $8.2 million for
State aid to local education, and $1.1 million for capital
construction.
HIGHER EDUCATION
A major component of this increase in General State
Operations for education is $3.5 million for the State
colleges. Essentially, this represents the increased cost to
enroll an additional 8,100 students next year in our six
State colleges, bringing the total number of enrollments to
55,400. Of the increase, about 1,900 will be full-time under-
graduate students ; the other 6,200 will be part-time students
taking both undergraduate and graduate work. Full-time
undergraduate students enrolled next year in the six State
colleges will aggregate 16,780.
This number is a milestone. It approximates 250 per cent
of the number enrolled in the State colleges in 1958 and
indicates that the goal set by the State's 1959 Educational
Bond Issue, which was to double enrollments by 1965, will
])c surpassed when our colleges open their doors next Fall.
But we must do more — much more — if we are to meet even
the conservative objectives for the year 1970 as outlined in
the Department of Education's Strayer Report,
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1965 201
The expected full-time undergraduate enrollments at the
colleges call for an additional 119 faculty members to
maintain a faculty-student ratio of 1-16. But more enroll-
ments mean more costs in areas other than instruction. It
will be necessary to include 103 additional employees to cope
with the expanded administration, maintenance and super-
vision problems which a larger student body generates.
Because of the expansion in the graduate work in the State
colleges, recognition has been given to an increase of 12
academic positions as State support of the graduate pro-
gram. Moreover, full provision has been made for the self-
supporting part-time, extension and summer programs.
To meet the pressure of increased applications for en-
rollment, we have decided to rent classroom facilities adjoin-
ing the campus of the Newark State College. Were it not
for the availability of this rented space, we could not enroll
400 of the 1,900 additional full-time undergraduate students
projected for all six colleges. Use of these facilities for
perhaps the next two years will permit the College to
advance, by at least two years, enlargement of the student
body as contemplated in the bond issue of 1964.
The increase in appropriations for the operation of
Rutgers totals $2.9 million. Of this, $2.6 million is for the
University in general ; $125,000 is for Douglass College and
$146,000 for the Agricultural Experiment Station. The
recommendations for General University purposes include
some $400,000 for the new two-year medical school in prep-
aration for the admission of the first class in the Fall of
1966. It should be noted that we make provision, with total
recommendations of $24.5 million, for two-thirds of the
State University's operating costs, exclusive of self-sup-
porting enterprises.
One million dollars of the Rutgers increase results from
the fact that, in the current fiscal year, an equal amount
became available for operating purposes to the University
from an insurance dividend account. This circumstance
permitted an offsetting reduction in the appropriation made
by the State for 1964-65. This fortuitous condition will not
recur in 1966.
202 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
Our appropriations to the University next year will pro-
vide for the education of the equivalent of 510 additional
full-time students. To continue the well-established stand-
ard of one teacher for every 12.6 students at the University,
funds are recommended for 40 additional faculty members.
The larger student body will require 48 other employees to
provide related services.
For the Newark College of Engineering, I am recommend-
ing an increase of $400,000 to purchase higher education at
this fine institution. Its enrollment next year will total
3,357, an increase of 153 when equated to full-time
attendance.
The increase in the college age population is very evident
in New Jersey's publicly-supported institutions of higher
education. In all, 115,155 full and part-time students will be
enrolled, an increase of 10,718 over the current year. Of that
rise, 8,100 will be in the State colleges, 1,752 at the Univer-
sity, 271 at Newark College of Engineering and 595 at
Trenton Junior College.
We can expect that the new structures authorized under
the recently enacted bond issue will permit us to enroll
increasingly larger numbers of young people who are able
to benefit from a college education. But we also know that
the pressure of the high school graduates justifiably seeking
places in colleges and universities will become even greater
than it is today. We must seek to honor our obligations to
these young people in two ways :
First, we must plan and, hopefully, provide college
facilities in addition to those included in the 1964 bond issue.
Second, we must encourage full utilization of higher
educational opportunities in colleges other than our public
institutions where costs are higher than in the State-
supported institutions. Toward this objective, as I in-
dicated in my Third Annual Message, I am recommending
$600,000 to permit awards of at least 1,000 incentive scholar-
ships for students in colleges whose costs necessarily are
greater than those in New Jersey's public institutions.
Our continuing program of scholarships and student
loans, now entering the sixth and fifth years, respectively,
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1965 203
is given additional impetus in this budget. I am asking for
an increase of $370,000 to provide a total of $4.5 million to
finance 13,000 scholarships next year — exclusive of the in-
centive grants. I am recommending an even more dramatic
increase of $950,000 to bring to $1.5 million the statutory
20 per cent reserve for new student loans. This will enable
some 10,275 students to obtain $8.4 million in loans of as
much as $1,500 each from lending institutions with repay-
ment guaranteed by the State. In my opinion, the loan pro-
gram has particular merit in that it enables youngsters to
provide for their own futures and instills in them a serious
desire to complete their college education.
AID TO SCHOOL DISTEICTS
The increase in this budget for State aid to education is
$8.2 million. Too often overlooked in judging the amount of
State aid available for education is the State 's contribution
for teachers' pensions, life insurance premiums and social
security. Only a few states budget these costs at the state
level ; most leave these costs to the local districts. The total
contribution of the State government to local education in
the next fiscal year is $188 million, of which $64.5 million
represents the State's contribution to the Teachers' Pension
Fund and costs of social security. This item alone reflects
an increase of over $5 million.
The formula requirements for contributing to operating-
costs and school construction reflect an increase of $3
million. This includes the cost of classes for the emotionally
disturbed and for adult education.
NEW AID FOR LIBRARIES
An indispensable component of any system of education —
public or private — is the public libraries. Traditionally,
our public libraries have provided the books and other
learning materials which have served Americans of all ages
in achieving educational and cultural objectives. In recent
years, we have seen a vastly increased use of our library
resources as the knowledge explosion and the changing
curricula of our schools and colleges have sent students in
ever-increasing numbers to the libraries. This unprece-
204 JOURNAL OF THE SEXATE
dented demand for library books speaks well for the
vigorous spirit of inquiry in America.
In 1959, we adopted the State Aid to Libraries Act estab-
lishing a formula of State assistance for these invaluable
facilities. Since then, however, we have not been able to
meet the requirements of this formula and a great many
public library systems perennially have been handicapped
by lack of funds.
This year, I am proud to recommend the full amount of
State assistance under the 1959 State Aid to Libraries Act,
This will increase the State's appropriation from $800,000
this year to $1.4 million in 1965-66. These funds, together
with the construction funds being made available under the
Federal Library Services and Construction Act, will give a
much-needed boost to institutions which cannot be allowed
to stagnate in an education-based society.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
In my Third Annual Message to the Legislature, I out-
lined a series of proposals for the expansion and improve-
ment of vocational education opportunities for the 62 per
cent of our youth who are not college-bound. One million
dollars was appropriated this year to make a start on a
program whose importance the Committee to Study the
Needs of Vocational Education in New Jersey has since
described with these words: "No investment carries a
higher priority for New Jersey today than vocational educa-
tion.' ' The Federal Vocational Education Act of 1963 will
make available approximately $6.5 million to New Jersey
by the end of 1966 to improve and expand existing pro-
grams and to establish new programs and facilities. I am
recommending $1 million in State funds in fiscal 1966, which
together with funds already appropriated, will provide $2
million to help local school districts obtain the substantial
Federal assistance available.
In the near future, I will present to you recommended
legislation which will enable us to carry forward this
very vital part of our educational endeavors along the
lines recommended by the Vocational Education Study
Committee.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1965 205
COMMUNITY COLLEGES
Funds in the amount of $1.9 million for construction of
county community colleges have heretofore been appro-
priated by the State. This is still available for expenditure
in 1965-66. I am recommending an additional $1 million in
the next fiscal year which, together with the unspent State
funds and $2.6 million in Federal funds, will enable the
State to participate in the development of five county
colleges that will cost approximately $13.3 million. The
State's appropriations should be adequate to provide the
State's share of cash needed to meet costs of construction
as the work progresses in the next fiscal year. This plan
has met with acceptance by representatives of the county
Boards of Chosen Freeholders. I stand ready to recom-
mend to you all payments that will be required in succeeding
years. This obligation we cannot neglect.
EDUCATIONAL CONSTRUCTION
The Department of Education and the State University
are embarking on a major construction program financed by
the College Bond Issue of 1964. Therefore, I have not
recommended any major construction for the State Colleges
or the State University in this budget. However, since we
adopted legislation late in 1964 providing that the State
University establish a medical school, I am including an
amount of $1 million for planning and initial construction
activity for this unit of the State University. This is the
first part of $6 million in capital aid the State will provide
for the Rutgers Medical School.
Department of Institutions and Agencies
To maintain the State's highly personal responsibility for
the very lives of thousands of citizens in its care, I am
recommending increased appropriations of $8.9 million for
the Department of Institutions and Agencies, of which $5.5
million is for operating costs, $2.9 million is for State aid
for welfare and $500,000 is for capital costs.
mental retardation
One year ago I disclosed to you plans for a four-front
attack on the tragic problem of mental retardation. Today
206 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
I can report to you that substantial progress has been made
in the last 12 months toward providing more adequate care
for the retarded — both within the State institutions and in
the community.
The new Woodbridge State School began the admission of
severely retarded patients on January 4 of this year. It is
expected that by the end of this budget year, Woodbridge
will be filled to capacity, admitted both from the waiting list
and by transfer from other State institutions which, in
turn, will admit from the waiting list. Full activation of
the Woodbridge facility requires an additional $1.5 million
and 338 more positions.
The program to purchase care for the severely retarded
in private facilities has developed rapidly. As of mid-
January, 1965, a total of 275 retarded persons were receiv-
ing care under this plan. I am recommending new ap-
propriations of $500,000 next year which, together with
anticipated unexpended balances available from the current
year, will continue this valuable service.
Several notable improvements are under way in our
existing institutions for the mentally retarded. At New
Lisbon, 12 new resident cottages are nearing completion.
These cottages will replace six old and inadequate structures
and help relieve overcrowding in the remaining cottages at
this institution. I am recommending 33 new positions at
New Lisbon to staff the replacement cottages.
At the Edward R. Johnstone Training and Research
Center, a new 118-bed Readjustment Unit is scheduled to
open in July, 1965. This will be the first facility in the
State specifically oriented toward the care and treatment
of retardates with major behavior problems. I have recom-
mended $232,000 to activate this unit and operate it during
1965-1966.
At the remaining institutions, I am recommending 92 new
positions primarily for the purpose of providing adequate
care for a steadily increasing proportion of severely re-
tarded patients who require substantially more staff -time
and effort than do the less retarded residents.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1965 207
The day care program for the retarded has continued
to expand. Currently over 150 retardates, who can reap
particular benefit by remaining in the community, are en-
rolled in day care centers receiving partial support from
State funds. But more remains to be done. Surveys reveal
that a total of more than 500 retardates are in need of day
care services. And in those cases where the State is pro-
viding no support, individual day care programs may be
terminated upon exhaustion of local resources. Accordingly,
I am recommending $225,000 to triple this year's appropria-
tion so that we can strengthen this much-needed service.
In sum, we can be justifiably proud of our accomplish-
ments in the field of mental retardation. But we also must
work to improve these programs in the next fiscal year. I
think that the recommended increase of $2.5 million in this
area is meaningful from a humanitarian as well as an
economic standpoint.
MENTAL HEALTH
With the addition of 54 new positions in this field, we
continue to emphasize more effective medical-surgical and
children's services.
Improved staffing is provided to implement a balanced
program of rehabilitation and specialized services to
expedite the release of children to the community. The
State hospitals are emphasizing comprehensive active
treatment in order to cope with increasing admissions.
Through regional decentralization of clinical services, the
hospitals are concentrating and unifying their efforts.
Training programs, at all levels, are supplemented by
Federal funds. The State hospitals are faced, however,
with significant care problems involving the geriatric patient
population.
We can, however, take pride in the reduction of 564 in the
patient population, from 13,974 in 1963 to 13,410 in 1964 and
we expect a further reduction this year. The Department is
devoting particular attention this fiscal year to the com-
pletion of its two-year project to develop a plan for com-
prehensive mental health services for New Jersey. This
208 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
should point the way for more effective community services
for those individuals who seek and need treatment.
COBREOTION
The Youth Reception and Correction Center at Yardville,
now under construction, will be a unique institution when it
opens in July, 1966. It will provide central reception and
classification of all reformatory commitments and a special
treatment unit for seriously disturbed reformatory inmates.
Under Chapter 65, P. L. 1963, the existing reformatories are
grouped into a single administrative system to provide
centralized planning for the youthful offender to develop
the greatest potential for rehabilitation. The Yardville in-
stitution will help relieve overcrowding which now is of
serious proportions at the existing reformatories. Funds
and positions are allowed in this budget for Yardville, to
begin staff build-up in preparation for the opening, to plan
and develop programs and procedures, to recruit and train
personnel, and to purchase initial operating supplies.
NEW FACILITIES
This budget also provides for other new facilities. Two
new cottages, a special treatment unit, and a work camp to
be located in the Wharton Tract, for inmates of the State
Home for Boys will relieve that institution's overcrowded
cottages, provide for more selective treatment of the young
offender and present an opportunity for proper classifica-
tion.
Construction is progressing on the Stokes State Forest
Work Camp to accommodate 60 boys. It will provide relief
from overcrowding and overmanned work details at Annan-
dale Reformatory.
A program has been conceived for a new 200-bed training
school for boys 13 years of age and under, and funds are
recommended in this budget for personnel to aid the
architects in planning this facility. This training school will
provide safe custody and adequate classification and treat-
ment for these children and will minimize the extreme
contrasts in age, offense, and social and psychological back-
grounds which now exist among the boys in the State Home
at Jamesburg.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1965 209
PUBLIC WELFAEE ADMINISTRATION
The past year has seen a continued rise in the number of
welfare assistance recipients carried on the rolls of the
Division of Public Welfare. As these increases continue, if
even at a slower rate than heretofore, the requirements for
administrative personnel, caseworkers and supervisors
must keep pace. Budget recommendations for Public Wel-
fare operations aggregate an increase of $846,000 over
current appropriations. For the Bureau of Assistance,
which administers public welfare programs at the State
level, I am recommending 10 new positions to strengthen
the administration of the Division and provide more ade-
quate staff for the quality review program required by the
Federal government as a prerequisite to financial assistance.
Considerable improvements in the welfare program dur-
ing the coming year must be concentrated in the Bureau of
Children's Services. Although the number of caseworkers
authorized this year was intended to provide a stable case
load of 53 per worker, the sustained growth in the number
of new cases added each month has already resulted in a
case load of 70 per worker and threatens to rise even higher.
I am recommending 114 new positions for the Children's
Services program in an all-out effort to reduce the case load,
based on current projections, to the 1 to 53 level. Anything
less would be inadequate and might easily set the stage for
virtually uncontrollable conditions inconsistent with the
objectives of the Children's Services program.
STATE AID FOR WELFARE
Appropriations in the current year for State aid for wel-
fare were geared to an estimated 177,040 welfare recipients.
The amount and number were predicated upon what had
been a clear trend in case load. Fortunately, the expected
case load and the average cost of grants have not material-
ized. These conditions result from the improved economy
of the State and Nation. Because the rate of increase in
the case load and cost of grants were not as high as expected,
there should be $3.6 million in unexpended welfare appro-
priations as of June 30, 1965.
210 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
We must, however, recognize that there will be a con-
tinued increase in the numbers of recipients during the next
fiscal year, even though the increase is at a lower rate than
that experienced in the past. Therefore, I am recommend-
ing an increase in appropriations for welfare of only $2.9
million which, together with the unexpended balance of $3.6
million in the present year, should be adequate for our
needs.
Department of Health
The impact of New Jersey's position as the most urban-
ized state in the Union is perhaps felt most sharply in the
field of public health. Our State Department of Health,
with the report of the State Advisory Committee on Sewage
Disposal as a foundation, has outlined a bold and imagi-
native attack on the problem of inadequate sewage disposal
facilities. In my Annual Message I gave details of this
program of grants and loans designed to foster sewerage
projects on the more efficient basis of inter-municipal action.
So essential do we regard this co-operative action, that I
have made provision in this budget for a $5 million appro-
priation so this inter-municipal activity can begin on a
meaningful basis. Of the total, $4.75 million will constitute
a revolving fund from which loans will be made for the
planning and engineering of regional sewerage projects.
The loans would be repayable at a low interest rate to be
spelled out in legislation.
The remainder, $250,000, will constitute a fund for the
preparation of inter-municipal feasibility reports on these
projects. Such reports would be financed on a State-local
matching basis. When the districts or regions have decided
upon construction plans, and funds are made available for
such construction, we can anticipate additional funds from
the Federal government. The funds loaned by the State
then will flow back to the revolving fund, to be used to
underwrite needed sewerage projects in other areas.
In my Annual Message I stated that the Department of
Health estimates that the loan fund should realistically be
in the amount of $15 million. Should funds in that amount
become available. I would not hesitate to recommend that
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1965 211
they be placed at the disposal of the Department for local
allotment. By recommending $5 million for both grants
and loans, we will be making a start on a program which is
vital to the health of New Jersey's residents.
And it is a good start. This $5 million appropriation
should generate an annual expenditure for sewerage con-
struction of between $60 and $70 million. This would repre-
sent a substantial annual attack on the pollution which
remains an ever-present threat in areas that are not served
by sewerage systems. This $5 million is the major portion
of the $5.3 million increase I am recommending for opera-
tion of the State Department of Health. Total recommenda-
tions for the Department are $9.9 million.
This includes funds for 31 new positions for air sanita-
tion, for identification of tuberculosis and other preventable
diseases, for radiological health, for food and drug inspec-
tion and for other necessary health services. The control of
tuberculosis requires an increased effort if this deadly and
costly disease is to be eliminated. It is disturbing to know
that 15,000 persons are carried on tuberculosis case registers
in our State, and that there was an increase in reported
cases in 1964 over the prior year. This budget also includes
funds to expand tuberculosis case-finding activities and pro-
vides for anti-tuberculosis drugs.
I am asking for $75,000 to maintain vigilant surveillance
throughout the State of arbor viruses which threaten the
public health. Last summer, modest funds available to the
Department enabled it to detect an outbreak of St. Louis
encephalitis which was not previously recognized in the
northeastern part of the country. We must have funds to
continue studies of the thousands of specimens of mosqui-
toes and blood samples of wild birds and animals in order
to determine the control measures needed to stop the spread
of these viruses. Linked to this effort is the State program
of control which is conducted by the Department of Con-
servation and Economic Development. I am recommending
an additional $50,000 to augment the State 's appropriation
which is used to encourage the various counties to apply
mosquito control measures.
212 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
Increased State appropriations last year made it possible
for the Department of Health to receive a $250,000 grant
under the Federal " Clean Air Act" to assist its efforts to
this important program. The funds recommended in this
budget will permit an expansion of the air monitoring
system established this year and also will permit the estab-
lishment of a field laboratory in the northeastern area of the
State where half the State's population and two-thirds of
its industry are located.
Department of Labor and Industry
Of the $700,000 increase in the $8.5 million Department of
Labor and Industry budget, 73 per cent is for the costs of
rehabilitation services to the disabled. To accommodate the
increasing case load of rehabilitation clients, 13 new posi-
tions are provided. Further, I recommend an additional
$350,000 for the cost of medical, physical and other outside
services to be rendered to such clients. I am also asking
$145,000 for research and demonstration projects which are
designed to show how new approaches to rehabilitation can
be implemented. Last year, 2,890 persons were returned to
the labor force by our Rehabilitation Commission. We hope
that with the funds recommended next year, 3,510 can be
placed in a useful occupation.
I am asking for a total of 11 additional positions for the
Bureau of Engineering and Safety and the Wage and Hour
Bureau. Some of these positions will aid in the enforcement
of the Construction Safety Act so that the frequency of
worker injuries can be reduced. Some will help to insure
compliance under the Prevailing Rate statute passed last
year.
The number of workmen's compensation claims which
require processing in the State Division of Workmen's
Compensation continues to outstrip the pace at which they
can be heard. To manage this case load and help reduce it,
I am asking for the approval of two additional judges of
compensation.

Depaktment of Law and Public Safety
In the Department of Law and Public Safety, with its
varied enforcement programs, I am asking for a total of
$26.4 million, an increase of $1.4 million over appropriations
in the current year.
DIVISION OF STATE POLICE
One million dollars of this increase is for the Division of
State Police. Increased efforts in highway safety, made
mandatory by the shocking increase in highway deaths, call
for more uniformed personnel. Therefore, I am recommend-
ing 50 additional State troopers to bring the total State
Police force to 928. This is in addition to 227 State Police
paid from toll road revenues. The new positions will require
an expenditure of $315,000, including salaries, clothing,
automobiles and related costs. It should be noted, however,
that these funds are included with the understanding that
we may not fully absorb the additional personnel into the
force until October.
It has been the State's policy over the years to pay State
Police a daily allowance for meals which they must consume
away from home while on duty. I am proposing, in this
budget, that the present daily allowance of $4.50 be raised
to $5 and have included the sum of $135,000 for this
purpose.
About $188,000 of the State Police increase results from
the fact that the current year's appropriation included
funds for 60 troopers for six months. Those positions are
filled, or will soon be filled, so that next year's budget reflects
the cost for a full year.
New Jersey has been justly proud of its pioneering efforts
in police communications which have gained us a nationwide
reputation in this field. To maintain our position as a leader
in this important area, I am recommending $100,000 to
modernize the State Police teletype network. These funds
will permit the installation of the most modern computer-
controlled teletype switching system available. It will in-
crease vastly both the speed and effectiveness of the network
and, as an added dividend, will permit the return to road
214 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
duty of 10 troopers by releasing them from communications
work.
The remainder of the increase is accounted for by normal
increments and for other non-salary operating costs.
POLICE TRAINING COMMISSION
Last year, I asked for an appropriation of $25,000 for the
Police Training Commission to establish a course in police
administration at the State University. The Legislature did
not see fit to grant funds for this purpose. It should be
apparent to all that professional upgrading of our local
police departments is a necessity. I hope you will see fit to
appropriate the modest funds needed for such a course.
DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES
In the Division of Motor Vehicles, this budget also pro-
vides for more vigorous measures against the mounting toll
of traffic accidents and deaths. We are strengthening the
inspector force programs of driver testing, driver improve-
ment and driver safety education by recommending 10
additional inspectors and by stepping up the recruitment
and training effort in this unit. The vehicle inspection
activity is also being supplied with funds aggregating
$110,000 for additional facilities and night hours in order to
speed up the detection and rejection of unsafe vehicles,
which are now averaging almost one in every three
examined.
Finally, as a further move against the problem of driver
irresponsibility, we are recommending additional staff for
closer controls over the convictions and accident informa-
tion flowing into the new driver licensing-driver record
computer system. This system, which is now operational
after a three-year conversion period, is one of our most
important weapons against unsafe and reckless driving on
our roads.
The total staff increase of 77 positions being recommended
in this Division's budget includes the initial permanent
complement of 48 positions for the Motor Carrier Road Tax
program which the Division administers.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1965 215
DIVISION ON CIVIL RIGHTS
I am asking for an appropriation of $250,000 next year to
operate this Division, so involved in one of the central
questions of our time. This agency has important duties in
the complementary areas of enforcement and education. As
I indicated in my Annual Message, this budget includes a
significant additional sum — $61,000 — to help the Division
meet the requirements of a dynamic civil rights program.
CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION LAW AND PUBLIC SAFETY
The growth of the State Police organization has resulted
in extremely crowded conditions in the departmental head-
quarters in West Trenton. Therefore, I am recommending
$385,000 for an addition to the Division headquarters build-
ing and for sewage disposal facilities that will meet the
modern sanitary criteria.
For the Division of Motor Vehicles, I am recommending
an amount of $160,000 for purchase of land necessary to
establish a new three-lane motor vehicle field installation
in Morris County.
Plans of the City of Newark to renew an urban area
around the downtown motor vehicle station make it desir-
able to relocate this activity. Therefore, I am including
$55,000 for advance planning and design of this new station.
State Highway Department
The funds which I am recommending for the State High-
way Department next year total $101.3 million, representing
an increase of $7.6 million over 1964-65. But cold figures
stating the amount recommended for this Department, and
the increase which it represents, would hardly do justice to
the new programs and many changes which are reflected in
the Highway budget.
ADVANCE PURCHASE OF RIGHT-OF-WAY
My recommendations include $4 million as the start of a
revolving fund for the advance purchase of right-of-way —
a purpose for which a manifest need has existed for years.
From this fund, the State will be able to purchase rights-
216 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
of -way at a cost which will be a fraction of that which we
would otherwise spend if, as in the past, we were forced to
buy after the lands were improved. When this property
is used for highways to be constructed out of joint Federal-
State matching funds, we shall be able to replenish the
revolving fund from these matching funds and be able to
continue the process of buying land in advance of immediate
needs. Furthermore, the Federal Bureau of Public Roads
recognizes the need to plan ahead in acquiring rights-of-way
as long as seven years prior to the need to place the property
in a roadbed. We should take advantage of the Federal
government's willingness to co-operate with us in such
acquisitions.
MAJOR REVISIONS
Management studies conducted by consultants hired by
the State Highway Department indicate a number of areas
in which the Department may improve its operations, its
organization and its efforts to construct highway construc-
tion activities. On the one hand, these studies have sug-
gested directions which the State should take to increase
its potential to accelerate highway construction. On the
other hand, the studies have pointed to savings which the
Department can effect in its existing appropriations.
Accordingly, this budget eliminates 100 positions in the
maintenance and operating force while, at the same time, it
provides an increase in staff necessary for the Department's
expanded highway construction program. Thus, in large
measure, staff needs of the Department are being met in
this budget by savings in areas which our survey determined
were over-staffed. The studies also point out that we should
make more effective use of personnel now available for
highway maintenance and operation by revising existing
performance standards. This is being done.
One of the areas to which we will devote these savings
is that of highway research. In this budget, it is proposed
to begin the expansion of the research program to a point
where it engages in all phases of highway research in-
cluding pavements, bridges, traffic surveys, foundations,
safety features and highway capacities, among others. New
Jersey is justified in developing a more extensive research
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1965 217
program at this time. It is hoped that improvements in
methods as well as materials of construction will result in
better highway construction techniques at considerable
public savings.
Appropriations to operate the State Highway Depart-
ment give effect to further reorganization whereby long-
standing vacancies have been eliminated in favor of estab-
lishing positions needed to decentralize the Department's
operations. With this decentralization, authority to act will
be delegated to personnel who will be able to make non-
policy decisions on the spot.
CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION
Let us now consider recommendations for the capital
construction program of the Highway Department. To
implement our construction program, first things must come
first. The acquisition of right-of-way is obviously a pre-
requisite to any highway construction program. In order
to acquire the lands upon which we will build the roads,
I am recommending an appropriation of $362,000 for 56
additional positions to process their acquisition. Recent
studies of our construction program indicate that the Right-
of-Way Division must acquire as many as 6,000 parcels of
land per year to keep far enough ahead of the Department's
construction force, and thus assure an orderly construction
program. That is not to suggest that this workload level
can be obtained in one year. It may require several years.
Other sums for new positions are recommended to give
effect, in the construction program, to the decentralization
policy which I already have described in the area of high-
way maintenance.
Over the last decade, and particularly since the imple-
mentation of the current federally-financed interstate
highway program, the State Highway Department has
relied to a considerable extent on outside engineering firms
to provide the skills necessary to plan and design the inter-
state highway system. For the most part, the decision to
follow that course was well chosen. When the interstate
highway system became a reality in 1956 and the multi-
millions of dollars from Federal sources became available,
218 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
the Department was under a compulsion to construct high-
ways as fast as possible in order that those Federal funds
could be utilized in the years for which they were made
available.
The Commissioner made a considered judgment that the
construction program could be implemented quickly only
with reliance on professional engineering firms because
the State could not possibly have hired and trained enough
competent technical employees to expedite the program
as rapidly as could professional firms. The fact was that
civil engineers were not available for hire by the State at
salaries which the State could afford to pay.
The Highway Commissioner and I share the opinion that
we have now reached a point where the State can hire more
of its own staff — not all at one time, but over a period of
several years — so that a staff of State employees will be
available to produce approximately 50 per cent of the total
amount of planning and design work necessary for the
construction program. It is clear that we must continue to
rely on professional engineering firms for the balance of
the planning and design work involved in the program.
Such a distribution of work between State staff and inde-
pendent professional engineers will give us desirable flexi-
bility to cope with the fluctuating nature of the work.
Accordingly, I am recommending that funds which may
be required for planning and design services related to the
highway construction program be made available to the
Department either for professional engineering services
or for staff services as the Highway Commissioner may
determine.
The funds recommended for highway construction include
$28.3 million to match the Federal allocation of funds for
the fiscal year 1966-67 ; thus we are matching Federal funds
one year beyond the fiscal year for which this budget is
being submitted.
NTBW COMMUTER CAR PROGRAM
In 1960, this State adopted a policy that essential rail
passenger services must be preserved as an integral part
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1965 219
of the State 's transportation system. Since that time, trains
have continued operating under contracts between the State
and the railroads. Nevertheless, it always has been recog-
nized that one of the major factors in any long-range
solution of the rail transportation problem must be the
acquisition of new equipment. Of the cars presently in
New Jersey suburban service, 99 per cent are more than
30 years old. They are expensive to maintain, uneconomical
to operate and certainly uninviting to the traveling public.
The numerous equipment failures have adversely affected
schedule dependability — the most cherished characteristic
of railroad transportation.
First priority is the acquisition of new multiple unit
electric commuter cars to be operated in the suburban
services provided by the Pennsylvania Railroad. The cars
will be leased to the railroad at a token rental. The railroad
will assume all maintenance costs for the cars. This carrier
has indicated that, if New Jersey adopts a car acquisition
program, it would agree to provide commuter services for
a period of 15 years without cash subsidy. In 1964-65
subsidy payments of $1.8 million were made by the State to
the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The enactment of the Federal Mass Transportation Act
of 1964 provides matching funds. If this Act is supported
by adequate appropriations, some assistance can be antici-
pated in the financing of new cars. In order to initiate
acquisition of this much-needed equipment, I have recom-
mended that $2 million of the money that would otherwise
be appropriated for carrying out the passenger service
contracts be earmarked specifically for acquiring new cars —
provided that no less than an equal amount is made avail-
able from the Federal government. The total of $4 million
would then purchase 16 of the most modern, high-density,
high-performing passenger cars that today's technology
has been able to produce. This will be the beginning of a
program for all commuter railroads that the Railroad
Transportation Division estimated in 1962 would involve
costs totaling $85 million. Hopefully, there would be sub-
stantial Federal participation in these costs.
220 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
Conservation and Economic Development
The total amount recommended for the Department of
Conservation and Economic Development is $18 million or
approximately $2.8 million more than the current fiscal year.
Of this increase, $1.6 million constitutes amortization pay-
ments on the bonds issued for Green Acres and for water
supply resources at Round Valley and Spruce Run. As I
announced in my Annual Message, I am including $200,000
for co-operative economic development stu iies in which the
State would pay up to 50 per cent of the cost of feasibility
studies for private industries interested in locating in our
State.
I am asking an additional $100,000 to strengthen our
program to promote New Jersey's industrial, commercial,
recreational, agricultural, educational and residential ad-
vantages. While many promotional efforts are being made
in the private sector on behalf of New Jersey, the State
has an obligation to strengthen its own activity in this area.
CONSTKUCTION AND IMPROVEMENTS
Added sums for capital construction include $350,000
for the rehabilitation of the Shark River Inlet jetties and
concrete wall. With the rebuilding of these installations,
we will be able to turn over to the Federal government their
maintenance as part of the Federal waterway program.
For improvements at the various State parks and recrea-
tional areas, some of which were acquired under the Green
Acres program, I recommend an increase of $117,000.
SHELLFISH INDUSTRY
Additional funds have been recommended to better
enable our shellfish industries to combat disease and over-
bar vesting. These funds should also permit the Depart-
ment to participate in Federal programs by which addi-
tional seed beds can be developed and the means found to
prevent shellfish diseases.
WATER RESOURCES
Revenues expected to be derived from the sale of water
in Spruce Run and Round Valley during 1965-66 are esti-
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1965 221
mated to be sufficient for the operation of these facilities.
In 1966-67, these revenues should be sufficient not only to
provide for operation but, in addition, to begin repayment
to the State for the debt service payments already
advanced and for at least part of the payment to be made
in the future.
WORLD 'S FAIR PAVILION
Upon the expiration of the New Jersey Tercentenary
Commission's term on December 31, 1964, we transferred
the operation of the World's Fair Pavilion to the Depart-
ment of Conservation and Economic Development. To
operate New Jersey's Pavilion to the close of the Fair by
November of 1965, we estimate that $150,000 will be
required.
Department of the Treasury
There is recommended for the Department of the Treas-
ury the sum of $21.6 million or $1.9 million more than that
appropriated this year. The increase includes $980,000 for
construction of an addition to our present State Highway
Building in order to meet the needs of that growing depart-
ment and to relieve its present overcrowding. The other
major increase represents an additional $500,000 to be
returned to the counties as their share of increased in-
heritance tax collections.
There also is included $50,000 to begin a permanent in-
ventory of personal and real property owned by the State.
You will recall that in my recent veto message of a bill
proposing a State property inventory, I indicated that an
inventory as contemplated by the bill would be too costly.
I proposed that more careful guide lines be established for
the inventory system. This sum will permit an inventory
— with efficiency and economy as its objective — to begin
with needed criteria.
I am asking for $35,000 to study the feasibility of estab-
lishing a computerized file for use in State planning. This
would give us an opportunity to improve our State's
capability to make long-range planning and managerial
decisions.
222 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
ADVANCE PLANNING
The benefits of having a fund available for advance
planning and design of building construction was amply
demonstrated this year when the Legislature provided
$400,000 in anticipation of passage of the Educational and
Institutional bond issues. As a result, we are much farther
advanced toward construction of those facilities. There-
fore, to prepare for future construction, I am recommend-
ing that $250,000 be appropriated as a revolving fund for
costs of advance planning and architectural services. These
expenditures should be returned to the revolving fund from
appropriations which will be made for the projects' con-
struction.
Department of Civil Service
To finance the ever-increasing workload of the Depart-
ment of Civil Service there is allotted $1.8 million, approxi-
mately $70,000 more than the current budget. The number
of counties, municipalities and other autonomous bodies
covered by Civil Service is constantly increasing, as is the
number of employees in these local governments.
To aid in handling the mounting workload $61,200 is
recommended for rent of data processing equipment, an
increase of $40,000 over the current year. But use of this
equipment will enable the Department to eliminate seven
positions.
Department of Agriculture
The sum of $1.8 million is recommended for the Depart-
ment of Agriculture. This is $43,000 more than was granted
in the current year. Except for two new items, amounting
to $120,000, this Department's budget decreases from
1964-65. The two new items are : $100,000 for Thoroughbred
Breeders' Awards ; and $20,000 for Standardbred Breeders'
Awards.
It is the considered opinion of the Racing Commission that
the establishment of this new program of awards for New
Jersey bred horses will help to maintain the high level of
tax receipts — $28.5 million in 1964 — from our tracks. These
award funds, to be administered through the Department
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1965 223
of Agriculture, are designed to stimulate the breeding of
New Jersey stock.
Nearby states have recently provided strong financial
incentives designed to encourage the production of more
and better horses, resulting in marked increases in revenue.
Such programs have seriously affected the availability of
horses needed to fill New Jersey races to best advantage.
Since racing revenue is highly dependent upon the quantity
of horses available, steps must be taken to ensure an abun-
dance of native racing stock.
Departmental Budget Reductions
I am pleased to report that in three departments I have
been able to reduce total recommendations below the level
of expenditures in 1964-65. And these reductions, I feel,
will not impair the quality or the extent of services rendered
by these agencies — Banldng and Insurance, Defense and
Public Utilities.
While these cuts are modest in size, it should be remem-
bered that the recommendations, nevertheless, provide for
normal salary increments, as well as a number of necessary
increases in operating costs. The reductions we have been
able to make, however, more than offset these rises. We
shall continue to make similar cuts — in the interests of a
full dollar's value for the taxpayer — wherever and whenever
they can be done without impairment of service.
Delaware River Basin Commission
New Jersey's share of operating costs of the Delaware
River Basin Commission is $126,000 in the year ahead, a
modest increase of only $9,000 over the current year. In the
Capital Construction section of the budget, however, there
is a relatively minuscule amount of $1,000 which I am asking
you to appropriate as evidence of the State's intent to par-
ticipate in the long-range plan of this Commission. This
will eventually cost New Jersey $26.4 million as its share
of the water supply portion of multi-purpose dams which
will be constructed from funds being advanced by the
Federal government. These developments represent real
provision for future generations.
224 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
Judicial Administration
In addition to salary increases for members of the State 's
court system, which I discussed elsewhere, there is a need
to recognize the constant rise in proceedings which the
courts' employees must process. Those of you who are
lawyers have special knowledge of the vast amount of paper
work that must be performed in connection with court pro-
ceedings. To accommodate this ever-increasing workload
I am recommending 25 new positions at a cost of $112,000 to
help the courts keep abreast of the demands placed upon
them.
State Employees' Pensions
Amounts required for our various pension funds (not
including the Teachers' Pension and Annuity Fund) total
$22.3 million. This is an increase of $2.3 million over the
amount required for the current year. Of this increase $1.5
million is allotted to the Pubic Employees' Retirement Sys-
tem and $470,000 additional is required for the State's share
of Social Security taxes. An increase of $300,000 is allotted
to grant pension improvements under our present Pension
Increase Act.
State Employees' Health Benefits
Our Health Benefits program will be entering its fifth
year in this budget. The appropriation recommended for
State employees' health benefits in 1966 is $200,000 greater
than in 1965. This increase represents: (1) a rise to 33,250
in the number of employees who are expected to participate
in the program and (2) a small increase anticipated in
premium rates.
Rent
I am recommending an increase of $470,000 in general
t'u iid appropriations for rent. The bulk of this increase,
$370,000, is for payments to our pension funds which were
used to construct our new Education, Cultural Center, and
Health and Agriculture buildings. Other major increases
for rent arc to be found at locations outside of the down-
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1965 225
town Trenton area. They cover space for such agencies as
State Police, Workmen's Compensation, Children's Services
and the Highway Department.
The State Emergency Fund
Traditionally we have appropriated $200,000 as a State
Emergency Fund to cover unforeseen contingencies. In this
budget I am requesting an additional $200,000 to assist the
various agencies of the State in meeting the State's share
to match funds available from the Federal government
under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. This sum is
to be utilized only when in-kind contributions are inadequate
to provide the 10 per cent of the cost of the program which
the State must finance.
Salaries in the State Service
In my Annual Message, I discussed the State's obliga-
tion, as a responsible employer, to compensate adequately
the men and women who administer and give life to the
laws we have enacted. At my direction, the Civil Service
Commission made a comprehensive survey of wages and
salaries paid in private industry and in comparable public
service. This survey disclosed that there is a gap of
approximately 13 per cent between compensation levels
in the State service and those in private industry and other
governmental jurisdictions. To narrow this gap for the
rank and file of State employees, I recommend an across-
the-board salary increase which will elevate each em-
ployee's salary by one range grade, effective on July 5.
This will cost $9.4 million. In addition, those eligible for
normal increments will receive them on their anniversary
dates.
While we are reducing the average discrepancy between
State government salaries and those for comparable jobs
elsewhere, there still remain sharp differentials in spe-
cialized positions. These include many career execu-
tive, administrative and professional posts and many
classes of technical, clerical and service work. Because of
this continuing gap, we find it increasingly difficult to hire
22G JOURNAL OF THE SEXATE
and retain such specialists as doctors and nurses, engineers,
accountants, technicians and skilled craftsmen. Therefore,
I also recommend $2 million to implement a program of
selective range revision for many titles that come within
specialized categories.
JUDICIAL PAY
There is no more urgent need for an increase than in the
salaries of our judges. As noted in my Annual Message to
the Legislature last month, "No court system can be better
than the judges who are called upon to exercise its func-
tions. Thus far we have been fortunate, perhaps more
fortunate than we could expect, in the high caliber of men
who have forsaken lucrative law practices to ascend to the
bench. The fact that such men have subordinated material
rewards to the ideal of public service cannot excuse us from
compensating them on a scale which will enable them to
meet their reasonable personal and family requirements
and expenses. Judicial salaries in New Jersey have fallen
markedly out of step with today's cost of living. For this
reason, it has become increasingly difficult to attract the
best qualified and otherwise willing attorneys to a judicial
service which entails so much financial sacrifice.''
New Jersey, for many years, had the reputation of pay-
ing its judiciary well. Unfortunately, this is not so today.
Judges of comparable courts in the Federal government
and the States of New York and Pennsylvania are paid
substantially higher than their counterparts in New Jersey.
In New York State, a salary of $45,000 is paid the Chief
Judge of its Court of Appeals and $42,500 for associate
judges. In New York's next lower Court, judges receive
from $34,500 to $39,000. These salaries compare with
$27,000 paid New Jersey's Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court and $26,000 paid our Associate Justices.
The Federal District Court judge is paid $30,000. In the
State of New York, trial judges are paid salaries ranging
from $29,000 to $34,500. They are comparable to New Jer-
sey's judges in the Superior Court who are paid $22,000.
Similar adverse comparisons exist with respect to Penn-
sylvania.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1965 227
Therefore, I am recommending a $5,000 increase to all
judges in the Supreme, Superior and County Courts. This
will cost $441,000.
SALAEIES OF TOP OFFICERS
The pay level of Cabinet officers in the State government
does not reflect the responsibility and obligations of these
offices. Decisions made by the department heads in State
government have far-reaching effects; most executives in
private industry face no greater problems. Comparing the
salaries of our Cabinet with their counterparts in industry
becomes an academic exercise since comparable private pay
would, in most cases, be at least double. Cabinet salaries
for both the Federal government and New York State have
recently been raised substantially, Federal to $35,000, New
York State to $29,875. The majority of New Jersey's Cab-
inet salaries are $20,000. These salaries have not been in-
cluded in pay programs for State employees for some years.
As a result, there is now relatively little differential between
top career employees and the heads of their departments.
Good salary administration requires the establishment of
logical steps from career salaries to executive compensa-
tion. The total cost of the recommended increases for Cab-
inet officers in New Jersey will be $64,000.
These same considerations apply to division directors
whose salaries are treated as line items in the budget. For
these directors, I am proposing increases of $1,000 to $2,000,
totaling $50,000. The specific amount requested is noted in
the budgets of each department.
I am sure that similar comments could be made concern-
ing salaries paid to officers within the Legislative Branch.
While recommendations in this area are the prerogative
of the Legislature, I stand ready to give sympathetic con-
sideration to such recommendations.
Supplemental Recommendations
I am recommending $1 million for supplemental appro-
priations in the current fiscal year. Additional State aid
to county mental hospitals, required by statute, accounts
228 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
for $640,000 ; $100,000 will provide for equipping the new
State House Cafeteria ; $75,000 will make it possible to acti-
vate utility systems and miscellaneous facilities for use by
Rutgers at Camp Kilmer ; $100,000 is required for the sala-
ries of the eight additional Superior Court judges author-
ized by the 1964 Legislature, and for whom no appropria-
tion was made ; and $85,000 will provide for additional fire
fighting costs during the current fiscal year.
Conclusion
The budget, more than any other public document, reflects
the broad spectrum of responsibility of the State govern-
ment. In New Jersey, we are put to a particular test : making
the most limited revenues1 of any State stretch to cover the
diverse needs of this, the most urbanized State in the Nation.
We have met this test without resort to new or increased
taxes. Where we have not been able to undertake broad new
programs in full, we have made a start. Where choices had
to be made, we have chosen the highest priorities. We have
made full provision for contingencies by retention of a
working surplus.
There continue, of course, many unmet needs and many
inequities in distributing the financial burden of govern-
ment. During my term in office, I have discussed this
question at length and will continue to make known my views
in clearest terms.
But, in broad perspective, government in New Jersey
continues to do its duty to the people. And if we set duty
as a standard, New Jersey, for increasing millions, will be
a State in which they can build a meaningful future.
Respectfully submitted,

Mi-. Patterson: Senate Bill No. 156 by Senator Ozzard,
''An act providing for the representation of the people <>!'
the State in the Senate and General Assembly of the Legis-
lature of the State of New Jersey.''
President Sandman: I recognize the majority leader.
Senator Ozzard: Mr. President and gentlemen of the
Senate: This is the second bill of the two-bill package Tor
redisricting the Congress and reapportioning the New Jer-
sey Senate and Assembly.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 311
First of all, I would like to apologize to the minority
leader for ray failure on the previous bill to give him the
details of its content and to describe the districts. I thought
this was understood by the membership; it is the reason I
didn't explain it in detail. I would like to offer just a little
detail on this bill, Mr. President.
First of all, this bill is based on the same Congressional
districts as contained in Senate 157 and follows the thinking
in large part of the Legislative Reapportionment Commis-
sion. We do one thing, however, in 157 that is a step beyond
the Commission's recommendation and was contained in
the minority report as to this portion of the report, at least,
and that is, we have subdivided the districts into Legisla-
tive or Senatorial districts so that we would have 30 Sena-
torial districts in the State of Xew Jersey.
Xow if you look at the plan, you will find that we have
tried as much as possible to accomplish two things. One,
we have sought to make certain that the area of representa-
tion is meaningful to the district that is contained therein.
Second, we have tried through the subdistricting to place
the representaton on an area basis.
Let me explain both, please. Number one, where we have
set up the individual districts, we have looked at the possi-
bility of the community of interest that might be involved.
That is why, for example, the City of Newark is a single
district. To me it has never made sense that there should
be three Congressional districts tied into the City of New-
ark and for the first time we have an opportunity here to
take a single political entity and make it a single Congres-
sional district. The City of Elizabeth tied in with the lower
half of Hudson County— and someone has said to me that
this doesn't make sense because of the water in between.
1 wonder at what point the width of water makes a differ-
ence because my county happens to be cut in half by a river
that at one point is a quarter of a mile wide and there are
other places in the State where this is so.
The community of interest here happens to be a very
simple one, the development of the Newark Bay, the de-
velopment of the dock areas, the shipping interests and so
forth. And when the Congressional representative from
that district is in Congress, individually he can represent the
interests of most of the Bay area but, best, he and the repre-
sentative of the one district of the City of Newark. And
312 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
you are fully aware of the fact that the Federal Govern-
ment's interest in the waterways and shipping in the Bay
areas, in the port areas, particularly in the New York and
New Jersey complex, is a continuing one, a vital one, and
a very expensive one. So there is meaning in the develop-
ment of that area into a single district.
If you look at the new Seventh, which starts at Sussex
and comes down to Mercer County — Sussex, Mercer,
Hunterdon and Warren — for the first time, the Seventh
makes some sense. Before the thing started just above
Mercer and it stretched up across the top part of the State
and reached and almost made the Hudson River. II' any-
body could spell out any sensible community of interest in
that one, I wish they would explain because up to this
moment I am stupid about it. But right now, you will find,
looking at the new Seventh, that this is the area within
which the Federal Government, this State, and Pennsyl-
vania will in the next decade spend hundreds of millions of
dollars in developing the water resources, water supply,
for New Jersey and Pennsylvania. So the new Seventh
makes sense — the tie-in all the way down to Trenton, the
Delaware Valley.
For the first time we have the County of Passaic out from
the rest of the areas. What interests Passaic may have had
with Hunterdon County, I will never know, but it was there.
Now Passaic, due to its population and location, forms a
separate district. And so on clown, as you look at this thing,
you realize that there is a pattern, there is a meaning, and
there is a purpose in developing the districts the way we did.
Now why subdistrict — the second point. Well, perhaps
in a single district such as Passaic-Middlesex, the two Sen-
ators at large and four Assemblymen at large would be
5
perfectly acceptable. But I think that these areas are going
to have to look at their sister areas throughout the State
and you are going to have to realize that you can talk ''one
man and one vote" all you want, but I think there is an-
other concept thai is inherent in proper representation and
that is the concept of area representation. In other words,
how close to the people, how close to the persons being
represented, can you locale the representatives? So when
you start to subdistrict, you find that you can do this. It is
the only way you can do it thai is meaningful.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 313
For example, in the Seventh District which reaches from
Trenton to High Point, if you look at the political com-
plexion, you will know that both of the representatives in
the Senate and all four in the Assembly could be chosen
right from the City of Trenton and possibly would be. So
if you don't subdivide, you cut off that whole northern area
from close association with representation.
Look at the — I believe it is the Fourth of Atlantic and
Cumberland and you get the same situation. Then look
down at the one down in the most southern part of the State
that stretches clean out across from Cape May all the way
over up and around the Delaware Bay and through Salem
and Gloucester County. Why shouldn't this properly be
subdivided so that representatives will come from each
half? And I know why it shouldn't be because now more
than before in Bill 157 we are dealing with individuals.
Now we are stepping on toes in the Legislature and this
is always a dangerous thing. Now we are dealing with
individuals who don't want to run against other people if
they have a choice, who don't want to come head on with
other members of this Senate and in the Assembly, other
members of the Assembly, who look at the voting records
of all the municipalities in their districts and their sub-
districts and they say, "This is not the way I want it. I
want the big, fat cushion. I want the protection that I
have now because this is the way my district developed."
And they are not going to get it,
I am going to tell you something. Whether you like this
plan or whether you don't, whether this becomes law or
whether it doesn't, not one man is going to run the same
way he ever did before. I don't know what the Supreme
Court is going to do if the Governor has his way as ex-
pressed in this morning's paper, that this go to the Supreme
Court and let them chop up the State for the elections for
office for the next two years. But I know this, that we
looked at plan after plan after plan and there is no plan
that leaves every member of both Houses of this Legislature
the way he was before or for that matter, the way he wants
to be. So you just better make up your minds that you are
going to be living in a different house from now on. Some
of the houses may not be as comfortable or commodious as
they have been in the past. But this is the way you are
going to live politically and I didn't do it and you didn't do
314 JOUEXAL OF THE SENATE
it. But we have to so something about making the structure
as sensible as possible.
Now I read this morning — and I must bring the Governor
in because he insists on saying things that I disagree with —
I read in this morning's paper that the Governor made a
statement to the press yesterday — and I took down the
quote — he referred to this as "a brutal package which tears
down county government and muffles the voice of the small
counties." And with this, I suggest that the small counties
join shoulder to shoulder and march to the wailing wall.
Suddenly, I hear the leader of the Democrat Party voicing
concern for the plight of the small counties in reapportion-
ment. But I would have him know and you know that the
small counties lost their manhood on June 15, 1964. There
is nobody that is about to do anything about it, particularly
the United States Congress.
It is not this package — it is not 156 and 157 that did any-
thing to the small counties. It happened a long time before
that. What we are trying to do is rnece together some
sort of decent pattern of legislative representation and I
still don't understand what he means by "muffles the voice
of the small counties." Also I don't understand what is
meant by tearing down county government because, if you
look at the pattern of the districts as we developed them,
you will find that we have done everything possible to retain
county lines. You will find the Seventh, the First, the Sec-
ond, the Third, the Fourth, the Fifth, the Fifteenth, the
Eighth ; all the way down the line, we stayed within county
lines. And only in that area of the Hudson-Essex-Union
complex did we vary it.
A very simple factor was involved here and that was
that you couldn 't do anything about those lines because you
had a numerical factor to work with and you had roughly
600,000 population in Hudson, which meant one and one-half
Congressmen and the equivalent of Senators and Assembly-
men. You had Union with 500,000 plus, which meant 100,000
more than they should have for proper representation
there. And you had 900,000 plus in Essex, which meant
100,000 more there. It is interesting that the pattern did
work out even in thai area because you shift 100,000 from
Union and 100,000 from Essex, which both of them have to
give up, and shift them into the Hudson Congressional
districts and von }>rim>' Hudson hack to the balance of
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 315
800,000 that brings in two Congressional districts, in part
at least.
This is the only area in the State within which we had
to disregard county lines. So there is no meaning in the
statement that we are attempting to tear down county
government.
Now there was something said this morning and there
has been a lot said in the press that this Legislature
shouldn't do much of anything except go home, I guess. We
shouldn't redistrict. We are not doing the right job in the
reapportionment — in approaching the reapportionment
problem — and we had better leave this up to a constitutional
convention. This Legislature was charged by the Court to
do a job of reapportionment and we have attempted to do
that job.
I have heard that the Governor's Office thinks that we
are going to go to a constitutional convention — this morn-
ing's press quotes him as saying so — that the Court will
have to decide what we are going to do for the next year
or two years and then a constitutional convention on top
of that. You know as I heard that, I thought of something
that happened to me around 1955 or '56 in the New Jersey
Assembly when I was pressing for certain legislation and
it was not to the liking of the Democrats in the House at
that time and Assemblyman Musto was the spokesman.
And Assemblyman Musto took the floor and he said one
thing. He looked at me across the room and he shook his
ringer and he said, "Shame on you," and sat down. And I
say, shame on us and shame on the Governor if we have
to let the Court do a reapportionment job of the New Jersey
Legislature. And you are not going to get the job done
unless we get some co-operation from both sides of the aisle
and the front office. If anyone thinks we haven't sought to
get the co-operation from the front office, they are wrong,
because I went to the Governor and the Majority Leader
of the Assembly went to the Governor and we asked him
to discuss this and we couldn't even get a discussion on the
bills that are before you today. All we got was a fixed
position that the plan that the Minority Leader has sub-
mitted in this House is the only plan that is workable.
Let me tell you about that plan — forty Senators, county
lines, multiple representation — and you sell that one and
you are hell bent for a unicameral Legislature and don't
316 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
think you are not. You might as well add the other twenty
and forget about it and wrap it up. It doesn't make any
sense when you are talking about bicameralism — you talk
about the plan the Minority Leader has submitted here.
Also, I would have you know that the twelve-member
Commission had that plan before it. They had the author
of that plan come in and explain it and try to sell it. Then
we unanimously, including the Senator from Middlesex and
I, unanimously rejected it. And I repeat, as I said this
morning, that that twelve-member Commission, I think, is
better informed about the problems of reapportionment and
the many, many plans that have been submitted than any
other individual or group in the State.
One last thought on the constitutional convention — this
is something that is easy to talk about and it captures the
popular imagination and the editorial writers think it is
great stuff, as one of them did this morning, to say, "This
is the way the people shall have their voice in the recon-
struction of their State government." And I say that is
plain, unadulterated hogwash. They know it and I know it.
If they don't know it, they had better study something
about the constitutional setup or the setup of constitutional
conventions in the past. You can talk all you want about
the niceties of the popular voice through a convention and
that it should be taken away from the Legislature and let
the people decide how a constitution shall be amended and
how the Senate and the Assembly shall be structured.
And I will then remind you there is a procedure to follow
in setting it up and that is by the ballot. You can take your
112, 120, whatever you want, and I will guarantee you that
81 of them will be Assemblymen and Senators that sit at
the constitutional convention because who in your county
and my county has been to the people more times and
corralled the number of votes and could still, to be repre-
sentatives, and can convince the people that they are the
persons who, at least among the members of most counties,
arc best informed as to the needs of constitutional structure
than the Assemblymen and Senators?
So when you are talking constitutional convention, this
is a sop. This is something to put your foot in the switch
with and sec if you can derail the train that you can't stop
anyway. This is something to confuse the people. This is
double talk just as we heard double talk here this morning
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 317
because when you get the constitutional convention, you
still won't have anything different than you can get out of
an intelligent group of men and women sitting in two
Houses of the Legislature with an intelligent approach by
a Chief Executive who wants to do something about
reapportionment,
A constitutional convention, as far as I am concerned,
is a misleading approach to the problem. That is why, while
it is not here today, I have a proposal to amend the Con-
stitution without it, in Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 13.
That is another issue. We will talk about it another day.
As for now, the thirty-member Senate recommended by
the Commission is in Bill 156. The use of Congressional
districts throughout the State, as the majority wanted them
in the Commission, is in Senate Bill 156. There is but one
variance with the Commission and that variance is in the
subdistricting of the fifteen Congressional districts to better
space, to better appropriate, the thirty members of this
body throughout the State.
This is good legislation. That doesn't mean some of you
will vote for it. But I urge your support, I move the bill.
President Sandman: I recognize the Minority Leader.
Senator Weber: Mr. President and gentlemen of the
Senate: I listened, of course, with great interest to the
Majority Leader's remarks on all aspects of this bill.
The Congressional district part of his remarks, I think
we can dispose of rather quickly. There is no surprise at
our position. There is no thought of saying that the Gov-
ernor was not co-operative. The Meyner Commission wrote
him on January 18th and he replied on January 27th as to
how he felt about Congressional districts.
The Majority Leader said in a previous debate some
words to the effect that we want to roll the dice in the hope
that next year we will be the majority party in both Houses.
Well the concept of ' ' one man, one vote ' ' means an expres-
sion of will of the majority of the people by either an elec-
tion or a constitutional convention and we do not happen
to think that going to the people for an election is correctly
described as rolling the dice. We think it is compliance
1,000 per cent with the "one man, one vote" concept of this
decision.
318 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
Xow as to the senatorial districts, we are in complete
accord, of course, as was the Governor on January 27th,
that we must redistrict on a Senate basis.
We are in complete accord with the U. S. Supreme Court
decision that said any redisricting at any level ought to be
compact, the districts ought to have a similarity of interests
and they should be contiguous. We were glad to hear the
Majority Leader say that they had considered this. Xot
only were we pleased, we were surprised.
The Association of the Xew Jersey Board of Freeholders
lias said that the concept of maintaining county lines is a
good concept. This is a group that represents local gov-
ernment closest to the people. They in effect endorsed an-
other plan to which the Majority Leader referred, the plan
that we introduced, consisting of forty Senators.
Xow what did we accomplish under this bill, under Senate
156, to comply with the Supreme Court as to similarity,
compactness, contiguous boundaries? Burlington — and we
mil forget personalities of members of this Legislature —
but in the County of Burlington, the Burlington County
Board of Freeholders, those supposedly closest to the peo-
ple, divided three to two, with Democrats and Republicans,
and passed a resolution unanimously that Burlington had
more in common with Ocean County than it did with Atlan-
tic County.
So what does Senate 156 do? Senate 156 put Burlington
with Atlantic County and with a possibility, mind you, a
remote one, but nonetheless a possibility under this bill,
that Atlantic County could in itself have no Senator what-
soever. But under the plan that was arbitrarily rejected,
Atlantic County would lie guaranteed one Senator of its
own.
Camden County — what did we do with Camden County?
We did not divide Camden County under this plan into its
industrial complex and its suburban complex. Rather, we
divided it lengthwise to the end that both the urban voice
and the suburban voice in Camden County are diluted, to
the end that both segments of Camden County under this
plan suffer.
In ('ape May, our neighboring county, neighboring to
Cumberland, where we have a community of Interest — we
share portions of the bay -under the ( Joffee Plan, Cape May
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 319
and Cumberland would look together to solve their common
problems. But under this plan, Senate 156, Cape May must
now also look to Salem County. I hardly call this compli-
ance with the United States Supreme Court admonition
that they should have a similarity of interests.
And Bergen County — Bergen County is divided strictly
on one basis with no thought of industrial complexes or
divergence of interests. Bergen County is divided strictly
on the basis of what is politically expedient, no other basis
whatsoever, in an attempt to please two opposing factions.
Senate 156 is no attempt to solve the problem. It is no
attempt to consult the people under the "one man, one vote"
principle. The Board of Freeholders Association has re-
jected it. The people will reject it if it goes on the ballot.
I will urge the Governor to reject it and I suggest that this
body reject Senate 156, which is nothing more nor less than
a political blitzkrieg.
President Sandman : I recognize the Senator from At-
lantic.
-
Senator Farley: Will the Senator from Cumberland sub-
mit to a question?
Senator Weber: I will.
President Sandman: He will.
Senator Farley: Senator, do you believe in home rule?
Senator Weber: I do, sir.
Senator Farley: It is my understanding you have a bill
calling for a certain distribution of the districts and forty
Senators. Is that correct?
Senator Weber: It is.
Senator Farley: That's on the basis of home rule!
Senator Weber : Yes.
Senator Farley: Would you say that your argument
against subdistricting within the Congressional district is
contrary to that
Senator Weber : No. I would suggest that it supports it.
Senator Farley: How can you argue before this body
that all of the people in an area should have a voice if you
320 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
are opposing subdistricting ? Isn't it more logical and sensi-
ble that there should be a division of a district so as to have
more home rule for each Senator to represent his immediate
district? Do you agree with that!
Senator Weber: Yes.
Senator Farley: How can you oppose subdistricting
then ?
Senator Weber: I say that subdistricting, in complete
accordance with the remarks of the distinguished Senator
from Atlantic County — that it is desirable for each county
to have a voice, for the seashore counties, the small coun-
ties, to be represented in any new Legislature. But neces-
sarily, because of the Supreme Court decision, we are all in
accord that the larger counties will have to have a superior
voice. Nontheless, the small counties are entitled to a voice,
a guaranteed voice, from that county. And I suggest that
the forty-Senator plan will accomplish that to a far greater
extent. I suggest that the only argument I have heard
against the forty-Senator plan is that it will lead to a uni-
cameral Legislature, and I do not believe that will be so.
Senator Farley: Will you submit to a further question;
Senator Weber : I will, sir.
President Sandman : He will.
Senator Farley: Do you recognize that presently South
Jersey, including Burlington, Camden, Salem, Cumberland,
Gloucester, Cape May and Atlantic, have one Senator in
this body? You recognize that, do you not, Senator?
Senator Weber: That Camden, Gloucester, Cumber-
land—
Senator Farley: — under the present setup —
Senator Weber: — has one Senator?
Senator Farley: Yes, under the present setup of the
Legislature today.
Senator Weber: Oh, yes, one apiece.
Senator Farley: Seven Senators.
Senator Weber: I thought you were referring to your-
self. (Laughter.)
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 321
President Sandman : All right. Let's have it quiet. The
Senator from Atlantic has the floor.
Senator Farley: Thank you for the compliment. Seven
Senators represent one-third of twenty-one. Is that cor-
rect ? South Jersey represents one-third of the Senate body
today.
Senator Weber : Yes.
Senator Farley: Under your proposed plan of forty,
there will be eight Senators from South Jersey. Is that
correct?
Senator "Weber: There will be three from Camden
County, one from Atlantic County, one from Cumberland
and Cape May, and one from Salem and Gloucester.
Senator Farley: A total of eight, correct ?
Senator Weber : I make it six.
Senator Farley: According to your plan — May I exam-
ine your plan a minute, please.
(Senator Weber hands Senator Farley his plan.)
Senator Weber : I would suggest that this is the first
time that any member of the majority has examined it.
Senator Farley: Three from Camden and two from Bur-
lington are five, one from Gloucester —
Senator Weber: I didn't include Burlington, Senator.
Senator Farley: I am sorry. Burlington is part of South
Jersey.
Senator Weber : You are right.
Senator Farley: So that South Jersey under your plan
will have eight Senators ; is that correct .'
Senator Weber : That is true.
Senator Farley: And eight in relation to forty is one-
fifth representation for South Jersey in this new proposed
body by you. Is that correct?
Senator Weber : This is true.
Senator Farley: And under the proposed plan, under
Senate 156, South Jersey would have six Senators. Is that
correct?
322 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
Senator Weber : This is true.
Senator Farley: And six Senators in relation to thirty
is one-fifth. Is it not!
Senator Weber: This is true.
Senator Farley: How can you distinguish between your
plan and Senate 15G with respect to the representation of
South Jersey, which is your own area and mv own area of
the State?
Senator Weber: Because I feel this way — that like any
other geographical area, southern New Jersey is not neces-
sarily composed of a single interest. We have the agricul-
tural interests represented by Salem County and Cumber-
land County and parts of Burlington County. We have the
industrial interests of Camden and we have the individual
interests of Atlantic and Cape May as seashore counties.
It is not necessarily a geographical distribution that counts
in this House ; it is a distribution as to interest. Southern
New Jersey, while we have many, many problems in com-
mon, like any other section of this State, at times we are
not all concerned with a Southern New Jersey problem,
per se. We are concerned with a seashore problem, an
agricultural problem or an industrial problem. And I
would suggest that under this plan, the Senators would be
more directly related to the county which they represent
and to the problem which that county lias within its
boundaries.
Senator Farley: Under your subdistricting, wouldn't
they have a personal opportunity to not only be more
familiar, but have an intimate knowledge of problems than
they would have if elected at large?
Senator Weber: I feel not, sir. I feel that a Senator
from Cumberland and Cape May, serving that area from
Cape May or Cumberland, whatever it might be, would have
a greater opportunity to become more familiar with these
problems. We do have mutual problems to an extent.
Salem and Gloucester have a greater community of interest.
Certain I v a single Senator from Atlantic County can become
more familiar with its problems. Three Senators from
Camden serving that industrial complex, and two from
Burlington and Ocean — and the Burlington County Board
of Freeholders, not Senator Weber, said that Burlington
and Ocean have a greater community <>f interest than Bur-
lington and Atlantic.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 323
Senator Farley: Well, that may be their viewpoint, but
we are very happy to be associated with Burlington County.
And my concluding remark is that the Senator from
Cumberland, the Minority Leader, has made a presentation
to this body that the plan is not, may I say, on a home-rule
basis and not as intimate as he would like it to be, and thus
he presents his proposed representation of forty Senators.
When you compare the plans, Mr. President, you will find
that there are eight Senators under his program, one-fifth
of forty, and likewise under Senate 156, in that program
of subdistricting, you again have six in relation to thirty,
which is one-fifth. And as far as our area of the State is
concerned, there is not any difference whatsoever with
respect to the proportion of representation. I can't conceive
in my thinking how he can differentiate between forty with
respect to home rule and in the same breath say that they
should elect at large. It is so inconsistent, so incongruous,
and certainly beyond my conception.
President Sandman : I recognize the Minority Leader.
Senator Weber : Mr. President, I would make merely one
observation, that eight Senators is one-fifth of forty and
six Senators is one-fifth of thirty.
Senator Farley : That is exactly what I said.
President Sandman : I recognize the Senator from Salem.
Senator Waddington: Mr. President, it is with great
reluctance that I arise today. I hope that the members of
this body will observe that I consciously have worn a
necktie today which has symbols of both political parties
on it because in my judgment I am not speaking as a member
of a particular political party. I am here on behalf of a
county which Senate 156 — and I say it is an infamous plan —
which will destroy forever, if the will of the majority of
this body is carried out — it will destroy forever any voice
in the Legislature in either House from the County of Salem
which has a history which goes back to 1655.
Last night I received a copy of the plan. I had expected
that the Senate would be dismembered as far as Salem
County goes. But I never conceived that you would even
go further and dismember Salem County in the Assembly.
It is just an incredible thing. I couldn't sleep. I made notes
off and on all night and all day today. They may not be
324 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
coherent, but I am sure they represent the views of every-
body in Salem County, everybody. And I say to you who
are running for Governor that if this plan* takes effect,
there will not be a Republican in Salem County. There can't
be. You are destroying the two parties in our county by
splitting us.
The Majority Leader has said that you have tried in your
plan to maintain county lines. I have looked at the map
and I find, if I can read this small print properly, that
eleven counties are split under this plan, Senate 156. Eleven
counties are split. I don't know how good you did in trying,
but the results are impossible. The majority of the counties,
if my count is correct, are split under this so-called home-
rule plan.
But worse than that, there are five small counties in this
State. Four of the voting populaces have decided to elect
Republican members to this House. The fifth — and I say
this humbly and gratefully — the fifth county, with support
of people from both parties, happened to elect Democratic
legislators. Under this plan, one county is split of those
five. I say it is a strange coincidence that four counties
which have Republican members in this House are not split.
One county which happens to have a Democrat is split.
I hope and pray that this is not personal and I hope and
I suspect from the remarks that were made at lunch that
this is true.
Nevertheless, if a sin has been committed by the people
of Salem County, it is that in recent years they have been
voting in majority for a Democratic Senator and apparently
a Democratic Assemblyman.
I say this is an incredible plan because you move into
the Assembly also. Under the Senate's own lawyer, a good
friend of all of us, Senator Lance, his principal point as I
read his brief — and again I am stepping into a legal area,
but I read it — his principal point to the Supreme Court was
that a percentage of 41).!) per cent of the voters of New Jer-
sey could elect a majority in the Assembly — 49.9 per cent.
I only know two bodies who believe that their product is
more pure than that. One is the long-standing Ivory Soap
Company and the other is the Senate Republican caucus.
This week we heard in sonorous tones a voiee in this
body say thai murder is a heinous crime, even if it is perpe-
trated by a seven-year-old boy. 'Phis is murder, murder of
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 325
a county which has been in existence for 188 years, a county
which recently has had a tercentenary committee which has
done everything in its power to put before our people
those things which will make everybody in our county proud
of the great and really glorious history of Salem County
since 1655, in conjunction with our schools, our Freeholders,
our municipal governing bodies, and our service clubs.
And here in this one bill, by splitting our county in half,
you are destroying this community of interest, you are
destroying all of the living together, socially, economically,
and every other way that our people have had since 1655.
I say this is murder.
I do not believe that any member of this body has a
mind which would run in this direction. I cannot believe
that any one of you would do this to Salem County. So I
can only conclude that the rumor that has been running
around here is true, that this must be a product of the
Republican State Committee. And I say to you, this is an
evil thing. It is an evil thing and I am doing my best, and
I hope successfully, to follow the injunctions of the great
Judaic-Christian tradition, to love the sinner and hate the
sin. I love you, but I hate the sin that you are trying to
commit against Salem County. You are dismembering us.
A way of phrasing this would be that Salem County, after
it is dismembered, would be a small tail on two dogs. "\Ye
are rendered impotent and I ask you as gentlemen which
of you would like to be rendered impotent ? Xone of you,
I am sure.
It seems to me that we have a new meaning for these
words which have been written and put into a movie called
"Fail Safe." This plan, as I see it, is "fail safe" for
Republicans. This is a gerrymander of all gerrymanders
in a decade of gerrymandering.
I am afraid this can only be the result of some im-
personal calculation by somebody on the Republican State
Committee who does not know the people, who does not
know their problems, who does not know their history, who
does not know their traditions, who cares less, who only
looks at this from one point of view — how best can we
arrive at a conclusion that is "fail safe" for Republicans
in the next election.
So I say to you, murder is a heinous crime and this is
political murder in Salem County.
326 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
Of all the possible plans that I have seen — and I cannot
pose to be an expert on anything, certainly not on reappor-
tionment— but I have read at least 15 plans — of all the
plans, I have only seen one other that was as bad as this
one and this was generated by two gentlemen from Essex
County who obviously merely took the political results and
added them together to arrive at this.
Even worse, it seems to me from the point of view of
Salem County, it is arrogant, and I use the term reluctantly.
It is arrogant for this body to even try to place a plan like
this in perpetuity by making it a part of the Constitution
of New Jersey. It does violence to every concept, except
one of political arithmetic.
I have with me today a history of Salem County which
just now has been published and it is for sale. And if I
thought it would do any good, I would buy, myself, — and we
Quakers are generally known to be a frugal people — it is
seven dollars a copy — I would buy copies for each member
of this body and send it to you. It tells the long and glori-
ous history of Salem County and its importance in the
history of New Jersey and the history of the United States.
It tells about the time when Salem County farm people fed
the Colonial army at Valley Forge. These are the kinds of
things we have been trying to get our people to be proud
of — to be proud of as a county. Yet you have the audacity
to tell those same people that this is home rule, that this
plan is good for Salem County and New Jersey. It cannot
be.
I have an editorial written by perhaps the most widely-
read editorial writer in any paper in our county and what's
his headline? — "Let's secede." Salem County was once
claimed by the Dutch from New Castle in now the State of
Delaware and he says, "We shall have to give serious con-
sideration to reverting back to the clays of Governor Prince,
who was the Dutch Governor of New Castle. Let's secede
from New Jersey and ask the State of Delaware to resume
its ancient jurisdiction here." This is what's happening.
Here is the headline on yesterday's paper, and the only
one that lias come out so far this week in Salem County,
"Salem County may be carved up by Senate reapportion-
ment." How can anyone claim that this is home rule, that
this is good for Salem County?
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 327
If you want to split the district, certainly it is not too
far removed from logic to say, we'll retain the county, as
I did the calculation within the four-county, so-called, con-
gressional district. This would give a variation of no more
than plus or minus 14 per cent. Why does Salem County
have to be split? I don't know except "fail safe" for Re-
publicans. Perhaps someone feels that it would be safer if
we split this little county which is already weakened by
being joined with larger counties.
Here is a whole tragedy of errors beginning first with
the Supreme Court of the United States, which takes an
extremist's position and supports a political theory which
has no experience anywhere in the United States to my
knowledge, and says we must live with it. Then we come,
following this — the New Jersey Supreme Court, which like
a school boy says, "I'll follow your instructions, teacher,
and we'll do it fast. We'll move in rapidly." Then we ap-
point a Reapportionment Commission, appointed by leaders
of this Legislature who both belonged to one political party.
But then finally it culminates in a bill which ignores the
recommendations of its own Reapportionment Commission
and says, "We are going further and this is merely a minor
deviation" — no pun on the chairman — M-I-N-O-R devia-
tion"— "in which the minor deviation splits eleven counties
of New Jersey. ' ' And then says, ' ' This is home rule. ' '
I say to you that locally this is good. My wife is happy.
I can retire and perhaps a newly-reelected Democratic
Governor could be convinced to appoint me as a lay judge
in New Jersey. Locally for Democrats this would be good
because after last year's debacle on the Republican National
organization, then this year with this debacle under the
New Jersey Republican organization, how can anyone say,
"I'm a Republican in Salem County ?" I think you are
shaming your own people with this plan.
I heard on the radio this morning while I was coming to
Trenton a statement by one member of this body who called
this a statesman-like approach. This is what we have to
take, a statesman-like approach? I was reminded immedi-
ately of the title of a book that was published some years
ago, written by a professor at the University of Georgia.
The title of the book was, "An Unbiased Account of the
War Between the States from the Southern Point of View. ' '
This is the kind of a bill we have here.
328 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
I not only urge the Governor to veto it, but in this news-
paper I have urged everybody in Salem County, every
political leader of both parties, every organization, to write
to the Eepublican leadership of this body and of the State
Committee and to the Governor and say, this is murder,
which is a heinous crime, even if perpetrated by a seven-
year old.
I close with a legal statement as a lay lawyer. I am
reading from the Reynolds v. Sims decision written, I
understand, by a former Republican Governor of California.
Here is what it says — this is page 1390 of 84 Supreme Court
Reporter. I quote, "A state may legitimately desire to
maintain the integrity of various political subdivisions
insofar as possible and provide for compact districts of
contiguous territory in designing a legislative apportion-
ment scheme. Valid considerations may underlie such aims.
Indiscriminate districting" — I don't know how they knew
you were going to do this, but apparently they did — "In-
discriminate districting, without regard for political sub-
division or natural or historical boundary lines, may be
little more than an open invitation to partisan gerryman-
dering." Then they go on and say in this same section,
' ' So long as the divergences from a strict population stand-
ard are based on legitimate considerations incident to the
effectuation of a rational state policy, some deviations
from the equal-population principle are constitutionally
permissible" — constitutionally permissible — "with respect
to the apportionment of seats in either or both of the two
houses of a bicameral state legislature."
I say to you gentlemen, under that decision, written by
Chief Justice Warren, even you, even your State Commit-
tee, can't find justification for splitting Salem County.
Senator Hillery: Mr. President.
President Sandman. I recognize the Senator from War-
ren.
Senator Hillery: The Senator from Salem referred to
conversations made at the luncheon table and used them,
I believe, as the basis of his argument and his thinking, and
I would recommend, having been a member of that group
at the luncheon table, for the protection of members of both
parties or this floor, that the conversation be stricken from
the record.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 329
The Senator also referred to the history of Salem County,
but it is too bad that he did not present the members of the
New Jersey Supreme Court with a copy of that history be-
fore we got in this present plight.
There was reference made to Mr. Earl Warren, who was
the Governor of California and a candidate for the office
of Vice President, saying that redistricting would be a bad
thing. He also said in the State of California when he was
running that he did not propose or want the Senate of Cali-
fornia redistricted because it was the most dangerous thing
that could happen to the State of California. In fact, as a
result of this, it would bring back boss rule to New Jersey —
rather to California, and also to New Jersey.
President Sandman: I recognize the Senator from At-
lantic.
Senator Farley: I agree with the Senator from Salem
that Salem County is not only a historic county in New
Jersey, but one of the greatest in the Nation. I will now
ask him to submit to a few questions.
President Sandman: He will.
Senator Farley: Through you, Mr. President, does the
Senator from Salem County and his county — do they favor
reapportionment 1
Senator Waddington : Obviously, no.
Senator Farley : Did the Senator co-sponsor a bill to im-
portune Congress to amend the present interpretation or
the decision of the Supreme Court to permit redistricting
of Senate seats?
President Sandman: Senator.
Senator Waddington: The question confuses me, but I
will relate what actually did happen last May. I was the
principal sponsor — there were, as I remember, twelve mem-
bers of this body who co-sponsored it with me — a resolution
which was passed, which was sent to the Senate and the
President, urging the Senate to amend the United States
Constitution to permit one House of bicameral legislatures
to be apportioned on factors other than population.
Senator Farley: That's correct. Now, Senator, did you
receive a notice from the Majority Leader or the President
of the Senate, inviting your suggestions as to any recom-
330 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
mendations concerning the revision of the districting in
New Jersey before a Commission headed by Governor
Meyner? Did jou receive such a notice?
Senator Waddington : I received an invitation from Gov-
ernor Meyner to present any views that I might have before
that Commission.
Senator Farley: Did you appear before that Commis-
sion?
Senator Waddington : I did not.
Senator Farley : Did you think it would be advantageous
and, may I say, vital and important to make the presenta-
tion to that Commission that you have made this morning
to this Senate body? Did you think it was important!
Senator Waddington: I don't know how to answer the
question, sir. The fact is that the Commission majority
never recommended — and I had studied the report of the
Commission — the Commission never recommended divid-
ing Salem County, never.
Senator Farley: You idn't receive an invitation from
this body to appear with any recommendations to this Com-
mission or to this body concerning reapportionment!
Senator Waddington: Did I receive an invitation from
this body? No, I did not receive an invitation from this
body.
Senator Farley : Well, I can recall distinctly calling the
attention of the Senate in executive session by the Presi-
dent of this Senate, this august body, that if you have any
recommendations, make sure that you appear and present
them to this Commission. Do you recall that, Mr. Presidenl \
President Sandman: I do. I made the announcement,
if flint 's the answer.
Senator Farley: Submitting a further question to you,
Senator, didn't you think it was vitally important and a
matter of necessity involving your own county to appear
before that Commission and ^ive flic presentation thai yon
gave to this august body today?
President Sandman: Senator.
Senator Waddington: At no time was I aware that the
Reapportionment ( 'omniission was considering a plan which
WEDXESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 331
would subdivide their congressional districts into senatorial
districts and at no time was I under any apprehension that
the majority or even anybody on that Commission had
planned to split the ancient and honorable County of Salem.
I say to you the Commission didn't do it in majority. This
is not the Commission's report and no matter what state-
ments are made here on the floor or off the floor by some
members who are proposing this plan, there is no way that
you can make it legitimate, at least to me and to Salem
County, by trying to tie in the authenticity of some of the
people on that Commission with this perverted plan.
Senator Farley : Mr. President, through you, there is not
any member of this body who had any knowledge, any
thought, any design, as to the conclusions that may have
been in the minds of those men who constituted this Com-
mission. We were apprised, every member of this body, in
addition to the announcement by you that I heard very
clearly and very distinctly, to submit any thoughts or any
ideas to tins Commission personally or through the medium
of correspondence. I must admit I am at loss why the dis-
tinguished Senator didn't make that presentation to that
Commission.
President Sandman : I recognize the Majority Leader.
Senator Ozzard: Mr. President and gentlemen: I am
most thankful to the Senator from Salem for the history
lesson. It strikes me there was a place named Salem where
they used to burn witches and I gather now the preoccupa-
tion is a similar activity with Republican State Committees
and Republican State Chairmen, and it is just about as
meaningful as when they used to burn them at the stake
up in Massachusetts because I can tell the Senator through
you, Mr. President, that the plan was not prepared by the
Republican State Committee. I would also remind the
gentleman that a little political homework might be very
revealing as to who is getting what advantage in the sub-
districting.
I heard about the loss of Republicans in Salem and
apparently the loss of a Salem seat to the Senator from
Salem— and again I refer back to my opening remarks that
so many men seem to think it is necessary to reduce any
argument to themselves. The Supreme Court of the United
States and the Supreme Court of this State didn't say that
each Senator shall reapportion the State to accommodate
332 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
himself and his county. They told us to reapportion the
State of New Jersey and they used the collective word, "the
Legislature,'' shall do it.
I don't remember the Senator from Salem submitting any
plan to the Commission, which is what he said. But I do
remember the Commission at several times before its final
report, stating publicly that there was a great deal of think-
ing about subdistricting.
Now when he says that we didn't follow the county lines,
he is correct only in the subdistricting. When I said we
followed the county lines, I thought I was very clear in
saying that the principal districts recognized county lines
throughout the State, with the exception of the area of
Hudson, Union and Essex.
I am sorry if the Supreme Court and the County of Salem
don't agree. It so happens I don't agree with them either.
But when you start to put together a plan for the State
of New Jersey, you have to work with population factors
and you can't do anything else. And when you have arrived
at the 400,000 which happens to be the Congressional dis-
trict within which Salem is located as with the other four-
teen, and then subdivide it for legislative purposes, there is
only one way with a slight variation that you can do it. You
start from any population area and work out and just keep
adding towns until you come to 200,000. Maybe you can
shift one or two, but you are pretty well boxed in.
Now I would like to just point out the emptiness, total
emptiness, of the argument about the Republicans putting
this together to assure Republican elections. I have a book
in my office which the Senator from Salem or anyone else
is invited to examine. In fact, you can borrow it. It has a
breakdown of the last senatorial election and the last two
Assembly elections and the last gubernatorial election, town
by town, for the whole State of New Jersey, and it shows
the Democrat-Republican majorities in every town. I sug-
gest to you that you take this book, as I did, and apply it
to this plan and you might be surprised to find out that the
so-called safe seats, if there is any such thing in politics
today — the so-called safe seats come out fourteen Repub-
licans and fourteen Democrats and two marginal.
I will take the plan that was submitted by the Minority
Leader, which has forty Senators, and I'll show you that.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 333
between twenty-seven and twenty-eight are certain — I mean
dead certain — Democrat seats.
So when somebody tells me that we are playing* politics
with the redisricting, they just don't know what they are
talking about. Get the figures, apply them, and then get up
on this floor and talk sense because, without doing that, you
are making unfounded charges against people who have
tried very hard to do a decent job, to get a balance and get
a sensible districting plan. Fourteen-fourteen-two — if this
is something that leans toward the Republicans, I just don't
understand politics. And if this was the product of the
State Committee of the Republican Party, we had better
clean them out and get new ones. They should be able to do
better than that.
President Sandman : I recognize the Senator from Essex.
Senator Sarcone : Mr. President and gentlemen of the
Senate. I had the opportunity earlier to rise and speak with
reference to the Majority Leader's Senate 157 and therefore
will not repeat all which I said at that time, except to say
that while I support the proposition very strongly that the
New Jersey Legislature should realign the Congressional
districts of our State since they are badly malapportioned,
I could not support Senate 157 due to the fact that in the
Essex County, Hudson County and Union County area, the
manner in which these Congressional districts were formed
were not as compact and did not have as much community
interest as that which I offered to the Legislature under
Senate 172. However, the principle of basing the Senatorial
and Assembly districts on the Congressional districts which
now is presented in Senate 156 is one with which I agree,
but I differ as to the alignment of the districts in the Hudson
County, Lnion County and Essex Comity area.
May I say at the outset, much has been said about county
lines. While 1 would have to agree that the court indicated,
as was read by the Senator from Salem directly from the
opinion by Chief Justice Warren, a former Republican
Governor and former Republican candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent— nonetheless, if you read the entire opinion, it appears
that the principle enunciated in Reynolds v. Sims, that
which we must have paramount in our minds and in our
thinking, is not county lines or the political subdivisions.
This is a consideration, but the paramount consideration,
my colleagues in the Senate, I believe, as enunciated by that
334 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
doctrine of "one man, one vote," is people — people, no
matter where they may live, no matter within what political
subdivision they may live.
I happen to have the honor of representing a county
which now has within its borders almost one million people.
I would have liked it if we could have come up with a plan
during these weeks of struggling which could have totally
served county lines. But obviously no reasonable plan
that could meet the "one man, one vote" doctrine has been
sented to date and it is a question of doing the best that
we can in following the doctrine of "one man, one vote"
I attempting to preserve our county lines
Now the Senator from Salem — I didn't intend to get into
this — mentioned that these lines were drawn by some people
from the Repulican State Committee. Then he referred to
two people from Essex. He didn't name them. But may I
. if Republicans had anything to do with the present
plan, if it were done on a partisan basis — let me tell you a
little bit about what happens to the almost one million
people in the County of Essex. As we now are represented
today — and I believe it is proper — in the Assembly, we
have nine Assemblymen. The Xew Jersey Supreme Court
did not go into whether or not the Assembly as it presently
- the "one man, one vote" doctrine. As I under-
stand it. the court said, so long as the Senate as it now exists
itional, we need not go into a determination as
to t. mbly — the entire Legislature falls. But none-
theless. I think as long as we are going to talk about people,
we all recognize as a result of the 1 there were
then - -ople in Ess onty and since then there
has been a population growth whereby we now approach one
million. The norm for Asemblymen. as I understand it,
using mathematics, is that we would have — that is. all
Le in the State, not only people from Essex or Hudson
or Union or Salem, but people, no matter where they are —
mblyman for approximately 101,000 people.
Now if we were to accept the lines as they have been
drawn I S ate lo6, the Congressional lines as recom-
mended by the Commission — and I do not charge or rwr-n
attempt to infer that this was intentional, bnt this is the
after all, w straggling with a v ions
problem — th r is that the County of Essex would have
representing it in the new Assembly eig-ht Assemblymen, not
nine. TL^ < lonnty of Union, which now has five, would have

for any gentleman of the Senate who cares to receive it.
I am not quite that frugal.
Much has been said about the Supreme Court and I want
to reiterate what I said on this floor before, that I was not
in favor of reapportionment. I was in favor of the counties
maintaining their integrity. I was in favor of the old rules
and law predicated upon one Senator from each county and
Assemblymen to be elected in accordance with the popula-
tion recorded by the census.
The decision of Mr. "Warren, our Chief Justice, when he
was the Governor of California, is well known. His views
then, of course, differ from his views now. I would think
this was perhaps his prerogative to change his mind, which
he has done, much to our dissatisfaction.
Reapportionment will, of course, create many hardships
and will deprive some of our counties of their Senators.
I want to tell you right now I am not in favor of depriving
any county of its representation or of its Senators. The
other twenty men who are in the Senate body with me, I
take to be my friends. I have grown to know them and I
like them and I wish they would stay. However, the Su-
preme Court has ruled that we must reapportion and if we
are to be considered law-abiding citizens, we must then meet
its mandate.
There was a resolution in this House to memorialize
Congress to amend the Fourteenth Amendment. I was one
who supported that. If it comes back again, I shall again
support it. I believe that the people of the State should be
entitled to govern their own State.
In so far as splitting Salem County is concerned, I do
not favor splitting Salem County. I think Salem County
is one of the finest counties in the State of New Jersey. T
might also tell you that I am a property owner in the County
of Salem and during the summer months I spend my time
with my family on a lake not too far from the esteemed
Senator from Salem County. I like it down there and I like
their people. It is a very beautiful county. I would not,
under any circumstances, advocate that it be carved up,
except the Supreme Court has indicated that we must re-
apportion by population.
However, nobody has made any mention as to what hap-
pens to my county under Senate 154, which carves up the
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 337
County of Gloucester. Up until this time, I haven't been
screaming about any murder on this floor. I am very happy
to have the tone of my voice referred to as sonorous rather
than musical because I don't know a note.
From time to time, the discussion here sounds like a
broken record of distorted facts so I want to set the record
clear. I have never and never will advocate the charging of
a seven-year-old youth with murder at any time. This is
the prerogative, as I understand it, of the courts of the
State of New Jersey. Men who sit in this body have been
those who have confirmed the judiciary and the prosecutors
and I am quite sure that no prosecutor in this State or in
any other State or no judge possessed of his mental facul-
ties would ever condone such a thing. But the facts have
been distorted purely for press reception. This appears to
be one of the main factors here today. Once more I arise to
defend my position, that I am not a party to any such action,
never have and never will be. The courts will decide what
shall happen to juveniles and I am content to let it rest with
our judiciary system, with our prosecutors, with our grand
juries and our petit juries, which are age old. I did not
coin the phrase that murder was a heinous crime. This had
been coined by the judiciary and the people of this country,
not by myself, realizing, of course, that certain people are
opposed to the use of the word.
Now in so far as seceding from the Union is concerned,
I might say that members of my family who preceded me
may have thought that way. But in so far as I am con-
cerned, no matter how the reapportionment lines are drawn,
if they draw one through the middle of John Hunt's home,
it makes no difference to me. As a law-abiding citizen, I
shall remain a part of the Union, a part of the State of New
Jersey and a part of the County of Gloucester. I have no
thoughts of secession because this in my estimation is the
thought of an anarchist.
Debacles have been spoken about. We have had many
debacles. I heard no mention about a debacle except after
the last election. I don't know whether you could call it a
debacle or not. It has been referred to by many other
terms, such as " landslide," "victory for the great society,"
etc. We might remind some people also that not too many
years back we had a similar situation which was of the
reverse political party.
338 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
Now in the County of Gloucester, if we are cut in half
by the so-called Coffee-Weber-Hughes Plan, then I would
lose the county seat of the county in which I reside. There
is no certainty that I shall run in my county again
for the Senate. Whether I do or whether I don't is entirely
up to the people of my county at the primary election and
I think this holds true for everyone in this body. No one
here is certain that he will be on that ticket with the bless-
ings of his own political party, We have to take our chances
on that. I would be most happy to run in Salem County if
I could get on the primary ballot down there and if I were
to qualify. I don't think that anybody would murder me
either.
We talk about similarity of interest. I noticed when they
were talking about this similarity of interest, they got to
talking about agriculture. And, strange as it may seem,
they completely omitted any reference to the County of
Gloucester, which is one of the greatest agricultural centers
in the entire State of New Jersey. Many of our products
go into Salem County for processing. Many of theirs come
into our county for processing. We have the great Sea-
brook Plant in Cumberland County. Much of our produce
goes down there. We have a similarity of interest, very
much so. If we did not, we would not be joined together
in many common ventures of agriculture and of industry.
So we do have mutual interest in the three counties,
Gloucester, Salem and Cumberland. I have said many times
that the populace of these three counties are so similar in
nature and thought that they could very easily be contained
in one county. This is how close we are in beliefs. Al-
though we argue from time to time upon the floor, I am
quite sure there is nothing personal in this.
I think the gentlemen who have spoken here spoke with
sincerity. I commend the Senator from Salem County for
his remarks and his fortitude in standing up and saying he
was not in favor of reapportionment. However, I do recol-
lect that we were all invited to attend and speak before the
( iommission that was to figure out a plan under the Supreme
Courl mandate. I took advantage of that opportunity and
1 was one of two Senators appearing before that body to
testify. The other Senator who testified the same day that
T did was the Senator from Warren County, Senator
Dumont. We took out time to come up and listen to the
testimony. At that lime T indicated I was not in favor of
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 339
reapportionment, but that I would go along with the plan
and for many days prior to that and following that, we were
apprised by newspaper articles, by radio and television of
former Senator Lance's One-Two-Four Plan and most cer-
tainly, if anybody in this body had any objections to that,
they should have voiced their opinions before the Commis-
sion at that time and not made the belated effort that has
been made here today in this body to becloud the issue and
smoke up the scene, because we all have a common interest
and that is to preserve as much as possible our county lines.
I shall vote for this bill somewhat reluctantly because I
feel so strongly that county lines should be preserved. I
have a strong feeling for my neighbors to the south, the
people in Salem County. I likewise have a strong feeling
for my friends in Cumberland County. If there were any
way possible by population to maintain the county struc-
ture, I would be the first person to subscribe to it.
President Sandman : Any further remarks f
(Discussion off the record.)
President Sandman: Mr. Minority Leader.
Senator Weber : Thank you, sir. I would like to merely
sum up our position very briefly out of respect for the
legislators here and the stenographers here.
First of all, I would like to call to everybody's attention
that this is the first time we have publicly discussed this bill
where there has been a free exchange of ideas. I grant you
that it has been discussed in the press and I grant you that
it has been discussed before the Meyner Commission. But
this is the first time in the whole proceedings that there
has been an exchange of thought about this bill, about any
bill — the first time we have sat down as legislators, meeting
our responsibilities for exchange of ideas. Out of it, I think,
has come a very interesting thing, the concern of the Sen-
ator from Salem County for his people. And we were
pleased to hear the concern of the Senator from Essex
County for proper representation under "one man, one
vote" for over one million people in Essex County. I sug-
gest to him that this legislation is not being passed under
the "one man, one vote" and he should join us on behalf
of the one million people in Essex County in urging upon
this body a constitutional convention as the Supreme Court
on behalf of the people of the State, speaking for them,
340 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
indicated and they said in the Jackman-Bodine Case: "As
a practical matter, the Legislature must be held to have the
power to legislate an interim solution in time for that
election," — an interim solution. Here we are today with
a permanent package.
It goes on to say: "The more difficult question is how a
permanent plan may be devised, more specifically whether
the plan may be proposed only by a constitutional conven-
tion or whether the Legislature may initiate some other
process to that end." And it goes on to say " . . . the
machinery whereby the people can meet in convention
through their delegates in pursuit of their 'right at all
times to alter or reform' the government,"
I suggest the remarks of the Senator from Essex
strengthen our position. Today in this Legislature, the
Senator from Essex speaks with a voice one-twenty-first in
strength. In the Assembly they have approximately thir-
teen per cent. But under a constitutional convention the
people of Essex County, one million strong, would have
seventeen delegates, approximately fifteen per cent of the
vote.
I concur with the Senator from Essex that the "one man,
one vote ' ' method is the way to solve this body by a constitu-
tional convention and I urge that we all go along with him
and that he go along with us.
President Sandman : I recognize the Majority Leader.
Senator Ozzard: Mr. President, I don't want to prolong
this. But two things have been said here that are so in-
correct for the record, they have to be corrected.
Number one, the statement that we are legislating a
permanent solution is totally incorrect. If the Minority
Leader has read this bill at all, he will note that it is keyed to
the Jackman decision that it is a two-year Legislature, ex-
actly what the Supreme Court said it should be. It has
nothing to do with Senate Concurrent Resolution 13, which
is a different approach and which wo will approach later,
I t rust, in this legislative session.
Number two, when the Minority Leader says this is the
firsl time that we have sat down as legislators and dis-
cussed this, I presume, with both parties, ho is apparently
suffering from a faulty memory because it was only a couple
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 341
of weeks ago that we sat up in the Majority Leader's Office,
both Republicans and Democrats, and attempted to discuss
this. I was informed, as were the others of the majority
party, that this plan which they apparently were familiar
with was not acceptable, that they would not vote for it, and
that they would only go for the plan that the Minority
Leader was going to put in himself. So what is the point
of discussing something when you have been told that they
won't go for it, they don't want to talk about it, and that's
the end of it? One attempt was made. It was fruitless.
We are here today. Let's vote on it.
President Sandman : Any further remarks 1
Senator Weber: One minor remark, Mr. President. I
did not say it was the first time we had discussed it. I said
this is the first time we have discussed it in front of the
people of the State of New Jersey and that is a fact.
President Sandman : The Senator from Camden.
Senator Scholz: Mr. President, frequent reference has
been made to the murder that has been committed. I
couldn't agree more. This legislative body was murdered.
It was murdered bv the United States Supreme Court on
June 15, 1964.
Our job is to recreate the body. We must become creators.
What has happened, we can't undo. We have agreed that
we are not going to be anarchists and go against the de-
cisions of the United States Supreme Court and the Su-
preme Court of the State of New Jersey.
I can't feel for the life of me that county lines or any other
lines are more important than the people of this State. The
Supreme Court has ruled that we must approach the "one
man, one vote" concept if we are to be constitutional.
Reference has been made to the remarks that undoubtedly
I made this morning and were broadcast by the radio sta-
tions in the Camden County area, in which I said we should
take a statesmanlike approach to the entire problem.
Maybe I am too new as a legislator to get into the field
where I have to deal with this important subject as a po-
litical tool. I refuse to do it. I hope that I never change.
I hope that as long as I am in this body I will look to the
people, to all the people, for the good that I can do for each
and every one of them. I feel that this is truly the feeling
of the majority, if not all, of the gentlemen in this body.
342 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
So I think that we are wrong when we talk about what
will happen politically — what will happen to ns individually.
I think we have to look ahead and I said that this morning.
If my colleague had quoted me entirely, he would have said
that I referred not to today, but ten years, twenty years,
forty years from now. None of us can reasonably expect
that we will be in positions of public trust and responsibility
forty years from now. But I for one would like to leave
behind me a system of government that is representative
of the people and responsible to the people and not a system
of government that is responsible and under the will and
control of a political organization or a group of political
bosses.
I think that the political considerations should be com-
pletely submerged. The county lines were not defined as
the boundaries by the courts. The representation here is
for the ' ' one man, one vote ' ' principle. I feel that we should
come as close to that as possible. The ideal, of course, would
be one Congressman representing 400,000 people, one Sen-
ator representing 200,000 people and one Assemblyman
representing 100,000 people. In this way each group, re-
gardless of its makeup, whether it is a mixture of industrial
or residential, agricultural, resort areas, whatever you
might have — at least each group would have a representa-
tive. They would have a voice in one of the legislative
bodies in this great State of ours.
People are what counts and this is what the courts have
said. I believe that this is the approach that we should take.
We have under Senate 156 the conception that we do
have contiguous, compact units which do meet the tests set
by 1 he United States Supreme Court decisions. I feel that
the divisions that have been made in my own particular
county, which were referred to here today as being improper
because they do not embrace the industrial section and on
1 he second section that of the urban area — that that concept
is wrong. I believe that the lines that have been drawn are
proper because it allows for an orderly growth in each of
the two divisions represented under this plan which in turn
will insure that we are not going to be subjected to continual
changes in the districts as we go on through the years.
Now that relates only to Camden County and I don't want
to he accused of being so provincial in my thinking that only
Camden County is the county to be considered. I believe
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 343
that all of us, no matter from which county we are elected,
which county we represent, must look to the entire State
and what would be good for our State long after we are
gone.
I strongly urge the support of Senate 156.

344 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
President Sandman : Senate Bill No. 172 on third reading
and final passage.
Secretary Patterson: Senate Bill Xo. 172 by Senator
Sarcone: "An Act providing for the representation of the
people of this State in the House of Representatives of the
United States, revising the Congressional districts of the
State and repealing section 19:46-1 of the Revised Stat-
utes."
President Sandman : I recognize the Senator from Essex.
Senator Sarcone: Mr. President and gentlemen of the
Senate : As I have indicated previously in debate on Senate
Bills 156 and 157, the proposals which I advanced under
Senate 172 and 173 follow generally the principles as ad-
vanced under Senate 156 and 157.
Now, Senate 172 as it relates to congressional districts
differs from Senate 156 in that the congressional district
lines which I have proposed for what will be the new 10th,
11th and 13th districts are in fact different. I would,
therefore, conclude that the argument which has been
advanced in favor of the congressional districts outside
the three that I have referred to and the arguments which
have been advanced in opposition to those lines other than
those which I have referred to, will obtain, and I do trust
that we will limit the debate and I, therefore, will confine
my remarks to the congressional redistricting for the 10th,
11th and 13th districts to be proposed.
At the outset may I say again that I urge very strongly
that this Legislature act at this time to cure the inequities
that exist insofar as the malapportioned congressional dis-
tricts are concerned.
In our attempt to present to the citizens of our State
congressional districts which will be approximately 400,000
people each, which is the norm when you consider the popu-
lation of our State, and in considering the area in and about
Union, Essex and Hudson, I would propose that the City
of Elizabeth, which is contiguous to Newark and has been
contiguous to Newark for many, many years — As a matter
of fact, I was just reminded by someone, a great authority,
"Boley" Schwartz — "Boley" reminds me, and I know
when I say this you are going to have to accept it and you
won't ho able to debate it, — that Elizabeth at one time was
a part of Newark and was a part of Essex. Elizabeth and
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 345
part of Union were taken away from Essex when Union was
made a county.
As a matter of fact, "Boley" Schwartz, the authority,
reminds me that back in the early 1800 's there was a serious
contest as to which of these cities should be the capital of
Essex County — Elizabeth or Newark — and, as I understand
it, Newark prevailed. So right at the outset we have this
closeness between Elizabeth and Newark. As I pointed out
previously, not only are they contiguous, side by side, but
there are thoroughfares that connect them — Highway Route
1 that I referred to and Frelinghuysen Avenue. The citizens
who travel to and from these cities by the thousands each
day shopping, going to and from work or to the Newark
Airport, the citizens of Elizabeth and of Newark in the area
adjacent to or near the Airport, have common problems,
whether it be the noise from the airplanes or the flying at
low ceiling, and also there is the common or mutual interest
in any problems that might relate to the Port of Newark
area.
I submit that whether you live in Elizabeth or Newark
you are in a relatively large city and you are city dwellers
and it makes sense, when you consider a compact congres-
sional district, to make those cities part of the same con-
gressional district.
I submit that the northern section of Newark, which is
now in the present 10th congressional district and which is
very close and is not only contiguous to Belleville and
Bloomfield but there is a great community of interest of the
citizens who reside in that section, be made a part of 10,
and I don't believe that the fact standing alone that there
is water between Elizabeth and Bayonne is a factor. This
isn't a river. This isn't a river. This is two miles of water
and there is no going to and from Bayonne and Elizabeth
as there is between Newark and Elizabeth.
For these reasons, I say it would be better, it would make
more sense, it would make for a more compact district to
include Elizabeth with Newark as a congressional district
and, therefore, I urge the support of Senate 172 as being a
more reasonable plan for congressional districting.
Senator Farley: Any further remarks? I recognize the
Senator from Cumberland.
346 JOUEXAL OF THE SENATE
Senator Weber : Mr. President, the Senator from Essex
gave me a bad scare there for a minute when he started
off. I thought he was going to say that Boley Schwartz had
put his blessing on one particular plan and thereby all
debate would be ended, (laughter)
Mr. President, everything that we have said here today
about one man, one vote, the Governor meeting his respon-
sibilities, and a desire to see the Congress apportioned at
the right time, we said sincerely and we said in good faith,
and we won't go through it all again except to make that
one statement — but it is particularly applicable to this par-
ticular situation when the Senator from Union is not with
us, we do not know for sure his feelings on it, and if there
were a Constitutional Convention, of the 101 delegates, 37
of them elected by the people, over one-third would be
solving this particular problem — not 21 Senators sponsored
by l/21st with a representative Senator absent,
Senator Farley: I recognize the Senator from Warren.
Senator Dumont: Very briefly, Mr. President, this bill
of the Senator from Essex makes a lot of sense to me and
the fact that it does take Elizabeth with a portion of Newark
in the same congressional district and the North Ward of
Newark with other communities in Essex north of there
and a portion of Hudson in the proposed new 10th District.
I voted for the reapportionment bill, the congressional
redisricting, this morning and I intend to support this one
also. I think we are not remiss here in any way in present-
ing two alternatives in this situation. I might point out
that the New York Legislature passed four alternative
plans in the hope that one of them would be upheld. I am
sure that either one of these plans is sufficiently good to be
upheld and to meet the one man, one vote mandate laid
down by the courts, and I am happy to support this bill as
I was with Senate Bill 157 this morning, sponsored by the
Majority Leader.
Senator Farley: Any further remarks! If not, all in
favor of the passage of Senate Bill 172 will answer Aye as
their names are called, those opposed No. The Secretary
will please call the roll.
(Roll call by Secretary Patterson)
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 347
In the affirmative were :
Messrs. Bowkley, Deamer, Dumont, Farley, Forsythe,
Hunt, Sandman, Sarcone, Scholz, Stout, Wool-
fenden — 11.
In the negative :
Messrs. Hillery, Kelly, Ridolfl, Weber — 4.
Senator Farley : Senate Bill 172 having received 11 votes
in the affirmative and 4 in the negative, I declare the bill
passed, and it will take the usual course of passed bills.
I recognize the Senator from Cape May.
President Sandman: On a point of personal privilege,
I would like to make a couple of remarks for the record.
Since this bill has already passed, it would have nothing
to do with what I have to say. However, I feel it is alto-
gether proper to say for the record — and I am glad we
are having a record taken today on these important meas-
ures so that nobody can be misquoted or told that perhaps
they didn't fight the hardest that they could for their
county, and I think it is proper to do it that way. But I
think it is also proper to mention in this record that Senate
Concurrent Resolution 21 of 1964 directed the Reapportion-
ment Commission to study and review the congressional
districts insofar as reapportionment is concerned and
insofar as redistricting is concerned.
As President of the Senate I made an announcement at
the beginning of the year that this was not going to be an
easy thing to do in any of these regards because in many
cases lots of us will lose our seats, and we are trying to do
the best job we can.
I think it was proper the way the Commission functioned,
I think it was proper for the Commission to ask the Gov-
ernor for his remarks and his ideas, and I think it is highly
improper for the Governor of this State to send a letter
such as the one he sent to the Commission on the night of
January 27th, because in that letter he urged this Com-
mission to do something contrary to what Senate Con-
current Resolution 21 directed that Commission to do. This
is a complete, unauthorized invasion of legislative authority.
The Senate Concurrent Resolution carries with it all the
force and effect of a Senate Joint Resolution or even a
348 JOURXAL OF THE SENATE
statute insofar as the Commission's obligation to do some-
thing as directed by a Senate Concurrent Resolution, the
only difference being that in this connection the Commission
was to report to the Legislature. It did not require the
Governor's signature to do this. A Joint Resolution would
have. And, again, the only difference there is that their
report would be to the Legislature and the Governor.
I think that the record should show a resentment, at least
so far as I am concerned as Senate President, that the
Governor has invaded the prerogative of the State Senate
and the Legislature in his letter of January 27th to the
Commission.
Senator Farley: I recognize the Senator from Cumber-
land.
Senator Weber : Mr. President —
Senator Farley: Is this on personal privilege or as
Minority Leader?
Senator Weber : Both.
A very quick observation : The debate is going on so long,
I guess we are all getting confused, because it was not too
long ago that the Majority Leader in a debate, speaking for
the majority party, said in defense of congressional re-
districting, "Remember, we did not direct that Meyner
Commission to do anything about congressional redisrict-
ing; we told them that it was a proper field to study," and
he said, not I, that it would be entirely proper for them
to come back and say that they had studied it and there was
nothing to be done, or so on and so forth.
So we have two schools of thought on the majority side —
one that they were directed to do congressional redistricting
and the other one that says, "Oh, no, we did not direct
them. They chose to do it themselves." And I don't know
what they said, and I don't really care what it meant. It
was a resolution passed by the Republican Majority. I do
know and I do care that we have a Governor who, when he
is asked a question about reapportioning this State after
L80 years, has an opinion, and he should have.
Senator Farley: I recognize the Senator from Somerset.
Senator Ozzard : Mr. President, for the Minority Leader's
information, all he is saying proves that the Majority may
be ambidextrous but it is at least productive. [Laughter].
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 349
Senator Farley : I recognize the Senator from Cape May.
Senator Sandman : The remarks of the Senate Majority
Leader and the remarks that I made here a few moments
ago are identical. Reading the simple language of Senate
Concurrent Resolution 21, the beginning of Paragraph 3,
on page 2, it states: "It shall be the duty of said commis-
sion,"— that's mandatory. The Governor says, "Pay no
attention to them. Chop up the Republican-controlled Sen-
ate but let two guys from Hudson represent half as many
people as Camden." And that is pretty inconsistent.
Senator Weber: Mr. President, I should be out of this.
The debate is between the President of the Senate and the
Majority Leader. One of them represents the minority of
the majority.
Senator Farley: Senate Bill 173 on third reading and
final passage. Will the Secretary please read the bill by
its title.
Secretary Patterson: Senate Bill Xo. 173 by Senator
Sarcone, "An Act providing for the representation of the
people of this State in the Senate and General Assembly of
the Legislature of the State of New Jersey ..."
Senator Farley : I recognize the Senator from Essex.
Senator Sarcone : Mr. Preisdent and gentlemen of the
Senate : The plan for Senate and Assembly districting for
reapportionment of the New Jersey State Legislature
which I propose under Senate Bill 173 insofar as the area
outside of Essex, Union and Hudson is concerned — since it
is the same as that which was recommended by the Com-
mission and was offered by the Majority Leader on the
bills which were just debated, I would accept for the record
the arguments advanced in favor of the previous bills as
to the areas otuside the three to which I referred, and the
the arguments advanced in opposition I believe should be
made part of the record.
Now I offer Senate 173 as a temporary plan under the
"one man, one vote" doctrine of Reynolds v. Sims, which
has more recently been mandated by the New Jersey
Supreme Court. Whether or not this plan, if passed by
the Legislature and signed by the Governor, would ever
become permanent, I submit would depend on what course
will be followed for a permanent plan.
350 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
As I understand our New Jersey Supreme Court in the
Jackman Case, the court indicated that if we do it by con-
stitutional convention, then we, the Legislature, can pro-
ceed. However, if we choose another method other than by
constitutional convention, then we must appear before the
court by April 1st to present that plan and obtain the
court's approval. What course will be followed, I believe
is for future action. But I present this as the temporary
plan in accordance with the court's mandate. I feel the
permanent plan will ultimately have to be decided by the
people.
Now I have mentioned several times the reasons why I
felt Elizabeth has a great community of interest with New-
ark and I felt that this should obtain in Congressional dis-
tricting and therefore it should obtain in Senate and As-
sembly districting.
As I pointed out previously in the debate on the previous
bills, certainly I think our objective — and this is what the
courts told us, both the United States Supreme Court and
the New Jersey Court — is to follow the "one man, one vote"
doctrine. So we are concerned with representation, voice,
in the New Jersey Legislature and with seeing to it that
people of the respective counties shall have the same voice,
the same vote, regardless of where they might live and
regardless of who their neighbors are. I believe that mathe-
matically it has been recognized generally that every 101,000
people are entitled to an Assemblyman in the New Jersey
Legislature, that every 404,000 people are entitled to a
Congressman in the United States House of Representa-
tives, and every 202,000 people are entitled to a State
Senator.
Now under the plan which I propose — and 1 am directing
my remarks to the area of the three counties to which I have
referred — I submit the proper representation will be main-
tained in the proposed Assembly; that is, the County of
Essex will continue to have nine Assemblymen running
from the Senate sub-districts, which we will refer to as As-
sembly districts. Hudson County will have six Assembly-
men, to which it is entitled, of course, and Union, T submit,
will have five Assemblymen. Anything short of this would
not meel the "one man, one vote" test.
And under the plan which I propose, which divides the
Congressional Districts into two Senate districts, each,
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1965 351
Essex County, as I indicated, with a population of close to
a million, would have representing it in the Senate five
Senators ; Hudson County, with some 660,000 people or
670,000 people, will have representing it in the proposed
Senate, running from Senate districts, three Senators ; and
Union County will have representing it, two Senators.
I believe the lines which I have proposed are compact
and there is community of interest. As we divide the 10th
Congressional District to make from that two Senatorial
districts, the line will be the Passaic River, which happens
to be the line that divides Hudson County from Essex
County and which would make the population in each of the
senatorial districts approximately about 200,000 people.
And, of course, as was presented by Senator Ozzard, I sub-
mit that in each senatorial district, two Assemblymen will
run. I offer this as a very reasonable, temporary plan under
the "one man, one vote" doctrine for the proposed new
Legislature to be elected this coming November.
Senator Farley: Any further remarks!
I recognize the Senator from Salem.
Senator Waddington: Mr. President, I am reminded by
my distinguished and very fine friend from Essex County
that perhaps an hour or so ago, as I understood his remarks,
those of us who were disagreeing with the plan then being
voted upon, were somehow doing it for political reasons and
this is reprehensible. But when members of the same
party, particularly if the Senator happens to have some
support in the Assembly, disagree, this is merely intelligent
men who see things differently, but nevertheless are only
dealing with the same facts.
However, from Salem County's point of view, this is
another infamous plan to remove forever any voice of this
county — and I suggest again that murder is a heinous crime
and this is political murder.
Senator Farley: Any further remarks? If not, all in
favor of the passage of Senate 173 will answer Aye as their
names are called, those opposed, No. The Secretary will
please call the roll.

Whekeas, Former Senator Walter H. Gardner died on
February 27; and
392 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
Whereas, Mr. Gardner was State Senator from Passaic
County commencing his term in 1937 after previous services
to the public as police court judge of Passaic and vice-
president of the Passaic Board of Education ; and
Whereas, Mr. Gardner served in the armed forces of the
United States during World War I and has long been active
in banking circles in Passaic County ; and
Whereas, It is but fitting that this body of which he was
formerly a member pay tribute to his memory; now,
therefore,
Be It Resolved by the Senate of the State of New Jersey:
1. That public tribute is hereby paid to the late Walter
H. Gardner, a former Senator from Passaic County, for his
public services and regret is expressed at his passing and
sympathy is extended to his family.

The following message was received from the General
Assembly by the hands of its Clerk:
State of New Jersey,
General Assembly Chamber, >
Mr. President: March 15, 1965. J
I am directed by the General Assembly to inform the
Senate that the General Assembly has passed the following
bill:
Senate Bill No. 109,
PAUL BORUTA,
Clerk of the General Assembly.
All Senators offered the following resolution, which was
read and adopted:
Whereas, St. Patrick's Day will be observed on Wednes-
day, only two days away from the present session of the
Legislature ; and
MONDAY, MARCH 15, 1965 393
Whereas, To the Irish, History may always be desperate
but never hopeless, as the wit and warm hospitality of the
Irish always have overcome most obstacles ; and
Whereas, The suppressed Irish could neither afford nor
cultivate any other art but words over a period of four
centuries as there was no charge for words — especially
spoken ones; and
Whereas, The love of words in the Irish has promoted
exaggeration and drama, which as everyone knows is merely
an overextension of the truth as it exists ; and
Whereas, Ireland has been a seat of culture even in the
days of Caesar's Rome, from the magnificent South with
Cork sitting pretty on the waters of the River Lee, and
Kerry fantastically beautiful with its deep indented pen-
insulas swept by a restless sea, to its Golden West with its
high mountains and shattered coast pinned down with
hundreds of small headlands and promontories and North-
ern Ireland with its beautiful scenery and countryside ; and
Whereas, Ireland has exported many persons of talent
to the United States and, of President Washington's first
cabinet of four men, two were of Irish stock and included
Henry Knox of Massachusetts and Second Chief Justice
John Rutledge of South Carolina. Of the Presidents of the
United States, at least eleven were of Irish descent, includ-
ing Andrew Jackson, James Polk, Ulysses Grant, James
Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Chester Arthur, Grover Cleve-
land, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, Woodrow
Wilson and the late John F. Kennedy; and
Whereas, Ireland has provided New Jersey with numer-
ous officials, including its present Governor and many mem-
bers of the Legislature ; therefore,
Be It Resolved, That the Legislature congratulates New
Jersey residents of Irish ancestry on their 1965 St. Patrick's
Day celebration and wishes them "The Top 0 the Mornin'."

514 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
President Sandman: I recognize the Majority Leader.
Senator Ozzard : Mr. President and gentlemen of the
Senate: A couple of months ago we made an attempt to
pass legislation concerning reapportionment. Today I be-
lieve we are going to make our final attempt — at least all
indications are that it will be final.
I am asking that this bill have your support on a voice
vote to advance it to second reading and then I am going
to ask you to vote with me on an emergency resolution to
put it on the board for final vote and discussion here today.
At this time, Mr. President, I move that the bill be ad-
vanced to second reading without reference.
(Motion adopted by voice vote.)
Mr. Patterson : Senate bills on second reading. Senate
Bill No. 270 by Senator Ozzard : An Act providing for the
representation of the people of this State in a temporary
New Jersey Legislature.
President Sandman: The title of the bill is open to
amendment, the first section is open to amendment, the
second section is open to amendment, the bill is open to
amndment in all its parts — having been twice read and con-
sidered section by section, is ordered to have a third read-
ing.
Mr. Patterson: Resolution by Senator Ozzard: Be it
resolved by the Senate by the vote of three-fourths of all
its members, signified by yeas and nays entered on the
Journal of the Senate that Senate Bill No. 270 is an emer-
gency measure and may proceed forthwith from second to
third reading.
President Sandman: I recognize the Majority Leader.
Senator Ozzard: Mr. President and gentlemen of the
Senate, Ihis is the Emergency Resolution and, with your
permission, Mr. President, L want to speak on the Bill so
there ran be no misunderstanding as to the vote on the
Emergency. I have that permission.
I said before that Ihis is probably the last time we are
going to vole on a reapportionment bill. I say that not with
any assurance that Ihis is going to pass both Houses but
rather with a reasonable certainty that it we fail today, with
the closing in of the Primary filing dale, with the direction
MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1965 515
of the Court, and with the, perhaps, hundred futile attempts
that preceded this one to come up with a practical and work-
able solution of reapportionment in New Jersey — if we fail
today the Courts are going to have to take over.
This doesn't mean, nor do I mean to infer, that this plan
is everything everybody wants it to be. I repeat what I
said a month ago in this chamber, that the only ideal plan
in this House, for these Senators, and for most of the peo-
ple in our counties, is the plan that's in effect here today,
21 Senators from 21 counties. But you don't have any
choice, and you know it, We haven't had any choice for a
long time.
So you are going to vote for a plan that you don't like;
you are going to vote for something that may inconvenience
some of you and may unseat others. And probably after
you get through voting, if it gets through this House and
then the Assembly, you are going back home and be criti-
cized and, if you are again a candidate, you are going to
find some people who will turn against you because they
don't like what you had to do.
I have been making speeches about reapportionment for
at least six months and everywhere I go I run into lots of
people who say, "Leave it as it is. We like it this way."
and they mean it and they think you can do it, and you know
you can't. So you have a bill today that is in part already
approved by the New Jersey Supreme Court, and in the
balance is something that I think, at least, is the least in-
convenient, the least unsettling of any of the plans that we
have been able to devise that we think can get through the
front office.
Now, the first part of the Bill deals with the Assembly
and, as you know, at the time of the hearing on the Presi-
dent's motion before the Supreme Court the Court told us
that the Assembly, as presently constituted, was satisfac-
tory as an interim body, but made no ruling on a permanent
body; but it said, as an interim branch of this Legislature
it was all right as presently set up. It, in effect, in actuality,
said that some pretty wide variances, some pretty wide
deviations were acceptable — something we didn't know be-
fore, we were not sure because we had no guide lines.
For example, they authorized the 2-year Legislature with
this Assembly to have a variance of 150,000 in my county
with 1 Assemblyman, and 50,000 in counties like Hunter-
516 JOUEXAL OF THE SEXATE
don and Cape May, a three-to-one ratio. But since they
said it was all right, and since the people of this State have
been living with this Assembly, with this structured As-
sembly, for about 188 years, I don't think that this body
nor the Assembly has any right to change that structure
for the next 2 years.
They can talk about all sorts of plans, and there have
been many talked about since the Supreme Court handed
down its decision, but in face of the popular acceptance of
the Assembly in its present form for so many years, in the
face of the Supreme Court's decision, I think we are obliged
to pass legislation that continues to structure that Assem-
bly as it has been and that's exactly what Senate Bill Xo.
270 does.
It provides, in its early paragraphs, for an Assembly in
the State of New Jersey to run for 2 years, election this
Xovember, and distribution on a county basis exactly as it
is set up at the present time. I doubt if we will hear much
debate on that this afternoon.
The next part of this Bill is something that I am sure we
will have some debate on. I just trust that it keeps well
below the emotional level that it has reached at other times
in the last five or six days because this is an emotional
type bill. We are dealing with the seats of some of the men
in this chamber, and everybody in this chamber has sud-
denly become a political analyst, a political seer, including
me ; we know how the election is going to turn out in Novem-
ber 1965 from Cape May to Sussex; wTe've got the votes
counted ; we know where the seats are ; we know who is going
to lose and who is going to win and who is going to con-
trol. The only problem that we have at the moment is
agreement on any of these things because there are 21
opinions in this chamber as of this moment.
The fact is that this Bill, unlike some of the others that
have been floating up and down the halls in the past week
or two weeks, was not drawn hurriedly on Sunday night
to hand to the Republican and Democratic caucuses on
Monday morning. This is a bill that at least attempts to
overcome most of the problems that previous bills have
embodied and faced.
Number one, it's a bill that, at this moment at least, has
the approval of the Governor. He has said that if we pass
it, ho will sign it. This is the first bill that the Republican
MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1965 517
majority in this House has agreed upon, at least, that the
Governor has said that about.
Number two, it tries in every aspect of its distribution
of seats to recognize incumbents — I said, recognize. There
isn't a guarantee written into any one of the many para-
graphs in the 4 pages of the bill. If anybody wants that, I
don't know how to write it. The only guarantees that I can
offer you today would be that you look back on your record
and look forward to what you are going to do the rest of
this session, and then go out and tell the people about it.
This is the best guarantee you have.
But it does recognize the fact that there are certain
Senators who have served long and well and should not be
.just written off merely because we have to set up a two-year
legislative body, an interim body.
I know the Senator from Salem and the Senator from
Cumberland can say, "Well, what about us? We're put
together and one of us has to go." And this is true in
just about every plan that's been devised so far. You just
can't do anything about it.
I said, so far as possible we have recognized incumbents
of present seats.
Number three, so far as possible, the plan is balanced. As
of this morning, with a lot of people contributing ideas as
to how the votes would go in the various counties, we come
up with — so far as we can count, at least, 12 Republicans,
12 Democrats, and 4 marginal. Better than this, I don't
think we can do.
Now, I would like very much to be sponsoring a bill of
28 Senators that had something like 26 Republicans and 2
Democrats to give it flavor. But I can't do this because it
so happens that there are counties that just don't like vot-
ing Republican, and there are counties that don't like voting
Democrat ; also, I don't think the Governor would like it.
So you have a plan that at least is politically balanced.
And I am sure the Senator from Gloucester will take me on
in a few minutes to tell me that one of the votes I'm counting
won't be there, but I disagree with him too.
The Bill provides for 14 districts, 28 senators. We
spotted them around as best we can to keep a numerical bal-
ance, and the deviation here is a little greater than it was
518 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
in the earlier bills. The deviation here runs up to 23-24 %.
We feel this is valid and acceptable because of what the Su-
preme Court said about the Assembly.
We have done something else that I think is important,
that during the 2-year period this legislative body, par-
ticularly this Senate, will be in operation I think it's
essential that insofar as possible we keep the representa-
tion distributed as widely as possible.
For example, in the district of Ocean and Monmouth, the
northern one-third of Monmouth could easily elect the two
Senators that are assigned to Ocean and Monmouth, so I
have had written into the legislation a provision that we
think assures distribution, and that is a provision that pro-
hibits any political party from nominating more than one
candidate for such an office from that particular county. In
other words, in Ocean-Monmouth, for example, the Demo-
crats or Republicans could only nominate one each from
Ocean and one each from Monmouth.
We hope through this, at least, to be able to give Ocean a
representative and Monmouth a representative, but both
could be elected at-large from within the district.
This, in substance, is all there is to the bill. You've
heard reapportionment until you are sick of it. But I want
you to realize that this bill is, I think, a good alternative to
running at-large in the State.
I think it's a bill that has some meaning and some sense.
It is a bill that the Governor, at least, finds acceptable.
It is a bill on this floor today because a majority of both
parties, at least in conference, thought it was acceptable.
I will answer questions on it, I'll defend it. I don't like
it but it's the best that could come out of a long series of
talks and conferences and compromises, and we can live
with it, the State of New Jersey can live with it. The people
will be well represented under it and for the next two years
you will have a functioning body that, I'm sure, will do the
job it 's supposed to do.

Senate: The Majority Leader said several things with
MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1965 519
which I agree, many things with which I agree. The state-
ment that occurs to me, with which I am one hundred per
cent in accord, is when he said, "I do not like it." But
I am also in accord with his statement that this hill is the
last opportunity we are going to have to debate and discuss
reapportionment.
Obviously, this bill is not one hundred per cent in accord
with everything that the Minority would like, and it should
be even more obvious that it is not in accord with what I
or the Senator from Salem County would like to see. None-
theless, we are face to face with reality.
Bill number 270 — 270 might also be the number of
reapportionment plans that I have heard discussed.
"Whether it is or whether it isn't, it is the last one, I feel,
the last opportunity for us to meet our responsibilities.
The Governor is meeting his, the Majority Leader has met
his, and we of the Minority are prepared to meet our
legislative responsibility, reluctantly, but we will meet it.
President Sandman: Any further remarks!
The Senator from Essex.
Senator Sarcone : Mr. President and gentlemen of the
Senate : Certainly every member of this body desires to
support a plan whereby the Legislature will fulfill its
function and adopt a plan which the Governor will sign,
and which will become a temporary plan whereby the
citizens of our State will be governed in the State Legisla-
ture for the next two years. But above this and paramount
in everyone's mind is not what will satisfy the Governor
or what will satisfy either party politically. I think para-
mount in our minds is what plan will be adopted, what plan
will meet that which caused all of this to come about,
Reynolds vs. Sims, wherein the Court enunciated the one
man, one vote doctrine. And I couldn't care less what
the Governor thinks or anyone thinks, when you consider
this decision. I think our consideration must be people,
the people, wherein the Court indicated no matter where
people might live, no matter who their neighbors are, their
vote should be equal to that of citizens throughout the State.
Now, I would like to think that this is a plan that meets
the one man, one vote doctrine. Of course, when you con-
sider whether or not a plan will or will not meet the one
man, one vote test, I realize that since this is new, since
\v<> have very little by way of legal decisions, a great deal
520 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
of it is your best opinion, a guess, it may not even be called
an educated guess since we have very little to go by.
But nonetheless, the Court did indicate that we must deal
with people and at the outset, as the representative of
the County of Essex, certainly as we are presently con-
stituted, I realize that I have but one vote, as has the
Senator from Cape May, but the Court has indicated that
this shall no longer attain. So we are attempting to ascribe
a plan whereby the citizens of my county, as well as the
citizens of the other 20 counties, will have an equal vote.
Right at the very outset I would like to hear the answer
to this. The county of Essex has 923,000 people living in
that county while the neighboring county of Bergen has
780,000 and some odd, and by this plan each of them will
receive 4 Senators. Now, I would like to know — I believe
there's 143,000 people difference, that is by population —
143,000 more people in Essex than there are in Bergen.
So it happens to be about the population of the county of
Somerset. I wouldn't expect the Senator from Somerset
to go back to Somerset County and say to 143,000 people,
"You shall not be represented." Or, if you want to look
at it another way, your vote should be diluted.
I think this raises a very serious question. It's a legal
question and I believe a court is going to have to decide it
in the very near future.
Now let's consider some of the other areas. I talked
about Essex County, I talked about it comparing it with
Bergen County. I could have even compared it with Hud-
son which has some 610,000 and they have 3 Senators. I
think this is a serious question as to whether or not these
are properly apportioned.
Xow we get down to what is designated as the 14th Dis-
trict. Salem and Cumberland are combined and there a
population of 165,000 gives a Senator. Of course, up in
Essex 1 43,00 more couldn't give us a Senator. I realize thai
perhaps 22,000 votes might make a difference. But here,
Salem and Cumberland with 165,000 for 1 Senator. The
county of Mercer, 266,000, 1 Senator. And if we consider
those two counties by percentage of deviation From the
norm — these are the statistics that were furnished together
with the proposed plan — Salem and Cumberland, a minus
of 23.6$ , and Mercer plus 22.9%. If you add the minus to
the plus it's a deviation of 46.5%. A serious question — is
t his proper apportionment.
MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1965 521
Now, I haven't read the bill. I haven't seen the bill but,
nonetheless, I understand there is a residency requirement.
And as I understand it, where more than two Senators are
to he elected from a designated district where you have
more than one county, there is a requirement that each of
the major parties shall not nominate more than one from
a particular county.
Well, at the outset I think there's a question. What about
those who are neither Republican or Democrat? What
about people who regard themselves as independents ? What
should they do ?
Then I believe that with this residency requirement — if
I can take the northernmost area, the area of Morris, Sus-
sex and Warren, which are joined together for one district
to give two Senators. If we were to look at that and use
it as an example, as I understand it, the Republican Party
and the Democrat Party shall nominate no more than 1
from, let's assume, Morris County. Xow I don't know what
other area is going to receive the benefit of the nomination,
Warren or Sussex, but obviously one of these areas cannot
have a representative, as such, because we can only have
two. Let's assume that it would go to Warren County and
each of the parties should designate a Senator from that
area, and that the election is now held and, after all, we are
now considering representation. Xow, while I realize they
are going to be elected at large, who can tell what the result
is going to ho ! Why could not a Republican who resides
in Morris be elected, and why could not a Democrat who
resides in Morris be elected? And what happens to the
representation of the persons who reside in Sussex and in
Warren counties?
I believe, and again this is an opinion, that this, of course,
in the very near future will be before a court. We have in
this residency requirement set up districts within the dis-
tricts. And by that I mean, in these areas in which I am
talking about — Morris County, Sussex and Warren — in
effect, with alligned counties we have set up districts indi-
cating that Ave can only have one nominated from a particu-
lar district.
Xow, the case of Fortson vs. Dorsey, a Georgia case,
wherein the Court indicated or ruled that this could be done.
And as I understand the fact in Fortson vs. Dorsey some
of the counties in Georgia were combined, the less populous
counties, to make the senatorial district. And in the more
522 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
populous counties, the counties were districted and a legis-
lator was designated or nominated from each of these dis-
tricts and yet they were elected at large throughout the
county.
However, in Fortson vs. Dorsey each of these districts
was, by way of population, properly apportioned. They
were properly apportioned, whereas what we have here —
the county of Morris has 261,000 people, and Sussex has
49,000, and Warren has 63,000. So, therefore, indirectly
they are becoming districts and these districts will be mal-
apportioned.
I believe that there are very serious questions here. And
when we consider that we are attempting to resolve or meet
this one man, one vote test, this might be something that
the Governor likes, this might be something that a number
of persons in the majority or minority might like. I think
what they like is really unimportant. I think what we should
support is that which meets the one man, one vote test and
I believe there are very serious legal questions in this, and
I could not in all good conscience support this plan.
President Sandman: I recognize the Senator from
Morris.
Senator Hillery : Mr. Chairman and members of the Sen-
ate : I have been listening with a great deal of interest to
the distinguished Senator from Essex talking about my
home territory and my neighbors. I might say that, out of
this Sears Roebuck Catalog of proposals that we have been
considering since last November, I felt that the bipartisan
Commission had made a proper recommendation as far as
Moiiis County was concerned. We are in a congressional
district in Morris. We presently have the Congressman,
Peter Frelinghuysen, representing both the counties of
Morris and Somerset in the 5th District, and for many years
there was a great alliance between Somerset and Morris
because the Congressman, the distinguished Charlie Eaton
represented the District for many years when it also in-
cluded a small section of Middlesex.
So, I will vote on an Emergency to permit both bills to
come on the floor for a vote but I am not giving my vote of
affirmation lor either of these because I think the distin-
guished Senator from Essex has raised a point about resi-
dency requirements which I feel would be knocked out by
the Court. I am not an Attorney but I have been around
MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1965 523
these halls long enough to know what holds and what doesn't
hold. I think I know that. And I would feel that our best
association in any permanent plan would be with our in-
laws— let me put it that way — over in Somerset County
but I cannot see how we can be associated with in-laws in
Somerset and cousins in Warren County, and we are being
spread out into an area which makes it almost impossible
to campaign for the position of Senator.
I wanted my position explained here. I am not putting
my vote of affirmation on either of these plans because I
do not want to give that affirmation that any future State
convention might feel that this was something that they
should use as a permanent plan.
President Sandman : The Senator from Passaic.
Senator Grossi: Mr. President, I rise not to talk to the
substance of the bill because admittedly it is not the perfect
plan and certainly admittedly I think that a Constitutional
Convention will have to deal with a permanent plan. This
is an interim plan that will only be for two years.
I rise merely to take exception to a few of the remarks
of the Senator from Essex and I can understand partisan
feeling with respect to a Democratic Governor when a Sen-
ator is Republican and I imagine it would be the same if it
were vice versa. However, the Senator from Essex several
times in his discourse made rather disparaging remarks
with respect to the Governor.
First of all I would like to point out that he is in error
when he indicates that we are met here to conform to the
Supreme Court's plan in Reynolds versus Sims. We are
not. We are under a mandate by the New Jersey Supreme
Court to come up with an interim plan that will be satis-
factory to them and comply with the one man, one vote
principle in so far as it is practicable. He says too he
doesn't care what the Governor thinks or what the Gov-
ernor says. I was over at the Supreme Court hearing on
our plan to put off for two years and the Supreme Court
very distinctly in answer to one of the counsel's questions
or arguments said that the Governor is an integral part
of this plan or any plan because this is in the nature of a
statute and, as such, he has the power to veto it or to sign it.
And if he should veto this, we will be right back where we
started and back before the New Jersey Supreme Court
and not the United States Supreme Court.
524: JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
So the Governor is part of any plan because he must ap-
prove it and both sides of the aisle realize this. The Major-
ity Leader is to be commended, I think, for the position that
he took in sitting down with the members of this side of
the aisle, together with the Governor, in an attempt to
try and hammer out some plan that would have a semblance
of meeting the mandate of the New Jersey Supreme Court
so that we might be able to get the show on the road, so to
speak. So any remarks with respect to the Governor's
participation or any snide references to what he thinks
or what his opinions might be, I think are completely out
of order in view not only of what the Supreme Court said,
but the citizens of the State of New Jersey. The Supreme
Court said in answer to an argument of one of the members
of the Assembly that the fact is you are malapportioned and
the Governor is well apportioned.
President Sandman: Before we hear any more remarks,
I just received a message from the Speaker of the House
and she has requested that all Assemblymen please report
to the Assembly for a roll call vote. If all Assemblymen
will please leave, we will go on with our business.
The Senator from Essex.
Senator Sarcone : Mr. President and gentlemen of the
Senate: If I said I didn't care what the Governor thinks,
period, I didn't intend to say that. I thought my remarks
wont towards the thought with reference to whether or not
a plan meets the one man, one vote test. And if he should
like a plan and the plan doesn't meet the one man, one vote
test, I thought I indicated that this should be paramount in
our consideration.
I agree the Governor is an integral part of the statutory
process. There is no question about that. If I gave the
distinguished Senator from Passaic the wrong impression,
I trust thai I have cleared that point.
Just one more comment, the Senator from Passaic in-
dicated that we are not to answer Reynolds against Sims,
but a mandate of the Supreme Court of New Jersey. I
would respectfully acknowledge that we are under a man-
date of the New Jersey Supreme ( Jourt, but that which gives
rise to that mandate is the decision of the United Stales
Supreme Court which enunciated the one man, one vole
doctrine. As I understand it, any of these plans could
become the subject of a test before the Federal court
MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1965 525
because we are dealing now with the Fourteenth Amend-
ment of the United States Constitution and whatever plan is
adopted, even if it were to be approved by the New Jersey
Supreme Court, I respectfully submit, if it is violative of
the Fourteenth Amendment of the one man, one vote doc-
trine, it could very well be reviewed even at the instance of
a citizen of any one of these malapportioned areas and it
could be reviewed by the Supreme Court of the United
States. So the final say in matters affecting one man, one
vote is the Federal court under Reynolds against Sims and
not the New Jersey Supreme Court.
President Sandman : I recognize the Senator from Salem.
Senator Waddington : Mr. President, I rise to speak very
briefly as one of those who is least favored by this plan or
the plan which apparently is going to accompany it.
I suspect I can make a number of comments in answer in
part to the distinguished Senator from Essex. I suspect
that the people of Salem and Cumberland Counties could
say in part, "We have real quality down there. We should
amount for more per vote than the people of Essex or any
other county." But the previous plans that have been con-
sidered by the Republican majority and that one which was
passed sometime ago did violence to county lines in
about half of the counties and completely destroyed the
voice of the County of Salem in both Houses. So in com-
parison with that worst of all plans, this plan looks much
better.
I am convinced that this is a true emergency. I am con-
vinced of that in part because I see serious harm again
potentially arriving to many of the less populous areas of
New Jersey if we should be faced this November with an
at-large election which conceivably could result in the
heavily populated counties electing the candidates of both
parties from their areas, leaving the less populated coun-
ties in the State with no representation in this body for the
next two years. This to me is a very serious and potential
danger and I don't think it is in the best interest of all the
people to permit such a situation to develop.
Now from the point of view parochially of Salem County,
if we have to be merged, and I believe we do under the
Supreme Court decision — if we have to be merged with a
larger unit, then Cumberland County from our point of
view — the majority of our people feel is favorable. There
526 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
is a great community of interest, There is a great similarity
of economics, social, historic background. For those of you
who don't know, at one time Cumberland County was a
part of Salem County. Already we have areas of interest
that are well established and I will give you just two illus-
trations : The Cumberland-Salem County Soil Conservation
District has been in existence for many years. The Salem-
Cumberland Unit for Eetarded Children is another area
where the people of our two counties have been working
together for many years.
So it seems to me that from the long-range view, if the
people of Salem County cannot keep a Senator to itself
in this body, then there is merit in the Majority Leader's
proposal of combining these two counties which are similar
in many respects.
However, diametrically opposed to this is the personal
problem faced by the distinguished Senator from Cumber-
land and myself. I suspect at this point we would both like
to remain as representatives of the people of our respective
counties in this body. But it seems to me that I have, speak-
ing only for myself, a very hard decision to which there is
no good answer. On the one hand, I see the best long-range
interest of my county served under this plan better than
under any other plan that has been given serious considera-
tion by the majority party in this House.
So this leads me to the reluctant conclusion, Mr. President
and members of this body, that I must put what seems to
be the long-range interest of my people in the County of
Salem ahead of any personal concerns of my own. There-
fore, I am going to vote for this measure.
President Sandman: I recognize the Senator from
Gloucester.
Senator Hunt : Mr. President mid members of the Senate:
I shall probably he the last speaker prior to your moving
tin- hill. But I want to refer to a newspaper article this
morning indicating that the Reapportionment Bill calling
for a 28-member Senate is expected to he rushed through
the State Legislature on Monday, possibly passing both
Bouses by nightfall. Then it goes on to say: "There are
complaints on the measure, small but vocal, Prom Camden,
Gloucester and Essex County Republicans." So I shall
represenl today that small, hut vocal objection From the
County of Gloucester that has sent me up here.
MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1965 527
There has been some comment made that we hope we
don't get into any emotional display. I most sincerely
believe we shall not. Prior to this, some reference has been
made to bills having been hastily drawn, floating up and
down the halls. But the esteemed Majority Leader has said
that this plan has balance.
I am not endowed to any degree with the art of clair-
voyancy so I am not able to read the minds of the people
and know how they shall vote in November or even on the
first Tuesday in June. So I say to you quite simply I would
like to know how anyone can arrive at a possibility of the
electorate of this State returning 12 Republicans, 12 Demo-
crats and having 4 in the marginal column. I submit to
you that when they get through, this may be entirely out
of balance. It is only a matter of conjecture that any party
shall have an even number, an uneven number or who shall
be in the majority. This shall be decided by the people of the
State of Xew Jersey and most certainly I believe that the
people of the State of Xew Jersey should be the ones to
decide what they think is best.
I most certainly agree with the Majority Leader that we
should pass a bill in this House. We have passed several
bills here. In fact, on February 17, 1965, we passed 156,
172 and 173, all Senate Bills, and I believe the Majority
Leader received considerable support on those measures.
They arrived in the Assembly. Many of us would have liked
to have soon them passed and put on the Governor's desk.
I have been one of those persons in this House and in the
State of New Jersey who have been objecting to reappor-
tionment, per se, but recognizing the mandate of the
Supreme Court, we bow to it and now today try to help
bring it to a conclusion. I think most of the men in this
body would have liked to have seen the representation
remain as it is, the Senators representing areas and Assem-
blymen representing population. But the Supreme Court
has deemed otherwise and Ave bow to their wisdom. I for
one am not one who would like to see any at-large voting
in the State because I don't think this would be good for
any county or any place. But I do want to take exception
to the statement that this plan is balanced. The County
of Gloucester from which I come has 134,820 people, not
voters, people, by the 1960 Census which we are dealing
with. If we were to deal with the present population today,
you would find that the County of Gloucester has around
160,000 people. "We are growing and growing very rapidly.
528 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
If we are to be coupled with the County of Camden that
had a population figure in 1960 of 392,036, this would give
us a total, as I read it, of close to 535,000, actually 526,856, to
be specific.
Now looking at this so-called balanced plan, I find that
this combination gives us a plus of 21.6 and looking at the
plan in another place, I find that we have a disparity situa-
tion from this one man, one vote rule as handed down by
the Supreme Court of minus 23.6. Now how can we reconcile
ourselves to having in one area a representative body of
165,000 as in the County of Salem for one Senator, whereas
in the other, we are going to have 250,000 or 260,000! This
does not meet the criterion of a balance. It cannot under
any wide stretch of the imagination indicate a balanced
plan. I am not going to vote for the 28-member plan for
the Senate. I have indicated that I would support the 29-
member plan. There are other plans in the Assembly calling
for 33 Senators ; you have some calling for 30.
So I think today they are moving wisely to get something
in line and I would recommend to this body, as I have right
along, that they not just present one plan to the Governor
for his consideration so that it might be passed on to the
Supreme Court. I have recommended that they pass three,
four, five or as many as six bills, giving the Governor an
opportunity to look them over so he might decide what he
thinks would meet the mandate of the Supreme Court.
At this particular point, I am not going to become
emotional. I have no intention of becoming so. But I am
opposed to having the County of Gloucester underrepre-
sented.
The County of Camden, one of our fine counties north of
us, has a population of almost 400,000 people and I have
said in debate on other bills on this floor that the County of
Camden should have two Senators. However, under the
plan whereby they combine Camden and Gloucester Coun-
ties, we still have only two, so someone is being short-
changed. I would suspect it would be the County of
Gloucester.
President Sandman: Any further remarks? I recognize
1 he Senator from Union.
Senator Stamler : Mr. President and gentlemen: I note
lor the first time the tension in the Chamber and I would
suggest that we are not here to make anybody happy. Un-
MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1965 529
fortunately, we are here to live by the law. And fortunately
for the people of New Jersey, whether we agree with it or
not, the Supreme Court has ruled on a particular case and
it is on the basis of that that this bill has been drawn.
I have no idea what the Governor would have done nor
will I, with all due respect to the Senator from Passaic,
make any comment on his comments. I have no idea either
what we could have done with all this package of bills about
which Senator Hunt speaks. But I do know this, that I
live in a county of some 504,000 people — that is as of 1960 —
but we are prolific and we are getting there. We may be
first class before some of the first-class counties are first
class. But in this instance, the Majority Leader has per-
formed a very, very great job in a very difficult position.
It is interesting that I am speaking on an emergency reso-
lution upon which I don't normally vote and in this case
again, even though I intend to vote for Senate Bill 270, I
cannot vote for an emergency resolution which so involves
the integrity of the Legislature and the integrity of the
State.
President Sandman: Any further remarks! I recognize
the Senator from Camden.
Senator Scholz : Mr. President and gentlemen of the
Senate : I believe that I am on record as having consistently
favored the plan of reapportionment that would most nearly
meet my interpretation — and I am sure the interpretation
of many others — of the one man, one vote concept and that
would be to reduce to as low a number as possible the rela-
tionship between the population of a given area, district or
county and the legislator, be it Assemblyman, Senator or
Congressman.
The logical conclusion, based upon present population of
our State, is that we would have 100,000 people represented
by one Assemblyman, 200,000 of our people represented by
one Senator and 400,000 of our people represented by one
Congressman.
The emergency nature of the busines at hand dictates
that I must have a change in my position. Camden is not
being treated fairly under S-270. We have the greatest dis-
parity in the relationship of population to Senators of any
county in the State. For example, you have almost 400,0000
people as compared with a districting plan for the Salem-
Cumberland area of 166,000. The combined figure of the
530 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
Camden and Gloucester area, with two Senators, shows a
disparity with a plus of 21.6 per cent, which is not in our
favor.
Now despite this unfortunate disparity we suffer in
Camden County, I intend to vote for this bill for the follow-
ing reasons : One, this is temporary legislation. Two, we
can't get a bill passed over the veto of the Governor and
he has repeatedly insisted that he would not take a dis-
tricting plan similar to the one I would prefer.
The New Jersey Supreme Court — and that is the court
that gave the decision that we are acting under — has ac-
cepted a disparity in the Assembly as high as three to one.
They have accepted this on a temporary basis and this is
what we are voting for today, a temporary legislative body,
and I believe, therefore, that the courts will not look with
disfavor upon this present plan, even though it does have
considerable disparity and particularly as it relates to
Camden versus some of the other counties.
Failure to pass this bill at this time would place the entire
matter in the hands of the courts and if we were to place it
in the hands of the courts, it is the considered opinion of
many of my colleagues in the Legislature, as well as con-
stitutional lawyers with whom I have spoken, that the courts
would likely hold that it would be necesary for the Senators
to run at large throughout the State of New Jersey. To me,
this would be the most crippling, paralyzing and destruc-
tive thing that could happen to Camden County, to Southern
New Jersey, and to the entire State because it would place
in the hands of a very small group of political bosses who
control the larger cities the power to dictate who is going to
run for office and because of the population and their con-
trol, they would in effect control the Legislature.
For these reasons and awaiting the further wisdom of the
people of the State of New Jersey or some other plan that
can be resolved which would give us a permanent Legisla-
ture, one lliat we could work with and live under, I trust,
for another 188 years, lam going to vote for this bill.
President Sandman: Any further remarks?
Senator Ozzard : Mr. President.
President Sandman: I recognize tin1 Majority Leader.
Senator Ozzard: In conclusion I have two things I think
it's important to say, Mr. President. Number one, I have
MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1965 531
heard comments from several of the Senators about this
plan not meeting the one man, one vote rule. If you mean
to the last percentage point, that's correct. It wasn't in-
tended to because as an interim body there were other fac-
tors to be considered. For example, I may sympathize with
the Senator from Essex in not having a 5th Senator ap-
portioned to the county of Essex but I think with 4 Senators
representing that county they should struggle along fairly
well in this body; whereas with Salem and Cumberland,
going below the average or the mean, having a Senator, I
felt that these two total counties should at least have sep-
arate representation, their economic complexion, their vot-
ing complexion, everything about them. So, it was not in-
tended to be perfect. It's not intended to be something that
will be accepted as a permanent plan.
Secondly, I would like to point out that the President of
the Senate said that following this legislation, or following
the action on this bill, there would be another bill — it has
now been given a number, it's S 275 — which will also be
offered. The only difference between the two bills is in
the carving up, if you will, of the area of Cape May, At-
lantic, Gloucester and Camden. In this bill Camden and
Gloucester are a district, and Atlantic and Cape May are
a district, Atlantic and Cape May having 1 Senator, Cam-
den and Gloucester having 2 Senators. Bill 275 will be on
the board, maybe, creating a district for Camden, alone,
with 2 Senators, and a district for Gloucester, Atlantic and
Cape May with 2 Senators. This makes it a 29 member
Senate instead of 28.
The reason for the "maybe" is this : We are asking for a
vote on an emergency resolution. I realize some of you
don't want to support the bill. I am asking at this moment
for a vote, a procedural vote for getting this bill into posi-
tion. I will tell you now that there are 11 votes in this
House for S 270 and there are 11 votes in this House for
S 275.
I don't want to play procedural games here today. I am
asking, whether you like this bill or not, that you give those
of us who have worked on it, those of us who support it,
those of us who want to pass it and send it to the Assembly
today, the vote on the emergency so that it can be passed
to the other House. You can do what you want when it gets
to the regular vote on the regular bill.
I move the Emergencv Resolution.
532 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
President Sandman: Any further remarks'?
The Senator from Gloucester.
Senator Hunt : Mr. President and members of the Senate :
In deference to the Majority Leader, I think he is absolutely
correct. I will not oppose the Emergency Resolution, in
fact I will vote for it, as I have voted consistently in this
body, because I think the members of this body are entitled
to vote on every measure that comes before them once it
is cleared and comes on the floor from the Committee. This
does not indicate that I am in favor of 270. I will oppose
270 but I will vote for the Emergency so as not to bring the
gentlemen comprising this body back here for an extra day
this week to pass this measure or disapprove it.
President Sandman: Any further remarks? If not, we
will have a roll call on the Emergency Resolution, 16 votes
required.
(Roll call by Secretary Patterson.)
In the affirmative were :
Messrs. Dumont, Farley, Forsythe, Grossi, Hillery, Hunt,
Kelly, Mathis, Ozzard, Ridolfi, Sandman, Scholz,
Stout, Waddington, Weber, Woolfenden — 16.
In the negative — None.
President Sandman: The Emergency Resolution having
received Hie required number of votes, the bill is directed
to have a third reading.
Mr. Patterson : Senate bills on third reading. Senate Bill
No. 270 by Senator Ozzard : An Act providing for the rep-
resentation of the people of this State in a temporary New
Jersey Legislature
President Sandman: I recognize the Majority Leader.
Senator Ozzard : Mr. President, everything has been said.
I move the bill.
President Sandman: Any further remarks?
The Senator from Atlantic.
Senator Farley: Not to be repetitive, in view of the fact
that there is a recording taking place today, I think this bill
certainly merits a little bit of history of not only the State
of New Jersey but of these United States.
MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1965 533
Basically, I do think that you all know that the greatest
document written was the Constitution of these United
States.
I think, fundamentally, you and I appreciate, all of us,
that what has happened in the South was so unfair, to deny
people the right to vote, and that something must be done
for the purpose of correcting this unjust situation. But at
the same time, in New Jersey not one, single, solitary per-
son has ever been denied the right of vote. As a matter of
fact, in 1947 this body and the Assembly, with the Gover-
nor, passed a Civil Rights Bill that's probably greater than
that which is in the United States today, in Congress.
I must take you back to the record of Xew Jersey. The
original 13 Colonies, in their zeal to protect the respective
farmers and merchants in Massachusetts, Vermont and
Rhode Island, had barriers to make sure that a toll was
paid.
Many, many attempts were made to accomplish the con-
federation of states and after, may I say, relentless efforts
by the people of this Country to colonize to fight England
because of unjust taxation, they finally had the key meeting
in Annapolis, Maryland. And the irony of this particular
situation is that in the presentation made by these respec-
tive states the Xew Jersey plan was accepted, not in toto
but the key part involving the creation of the legislature.
Those men were so zealous at the time that Thomas
Jefferson went to Europe and researched every type of
government to insure that there was proper representation.
And when he came back to discuss the ten amendments he
talked to the then President, George Washington, and
asked George Washington why he had in his mind that
there should be division of representation by population
and not by district.
Well, in the early days of this Country, not too many
years ago, when people drank coffee they would tilt the cup
and pour the coffee in the saucer for a cooling period. And
George Washington said to Thomas Jefferson, "That's the
reason they have a saucer." The cooling period — in order
to let them examine the content of a bill that may emanate
from one House.
Likewise, back in 1844 the people of this State, before they
had automobiles, marched to Trenton and made a demand
that the Legislature and all of the people revise this Con-
stitution, and at that time insisted on a lav court in the
534 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
court system to make sure there was representation of the
little people.
The voice medium of the people today, all through these
United States, is the Legislator, not the Court, not the
Governor, because this is so basically fundamental to
home rule.
The people of the State of New Jersey, in 1947, elected
81 Delegates to the Constitutional Convention, of which I
had the pleasure and honor of being one, to represent the
entire State, and we spent three hot summer months in
New Brunswick during which time many views were voiced.
At the conclusion of that period a document was prepared
and presented to the people. And I point out to you, as
the election returns will show, that every sizeable city of
this State — Jersey City, Newark, Paterson, Passaic, Cam-
den, Trenton — voted for that document.
Early in the history of this State, East and West Jersey,
this situation had arisen on three occasions, before the
creation of the Constitution in 1776, and on those occasions
the people again determined that there should be repre-
sentation by population in the lower house, and by district
in the upper house.
This country is built on tradition. This country is so
anxious to help the little man. And the people today in this
country are unconscious of what is happening. This is a
great State — 47th in size, 6th in income, 5th in industry —
and our Constitution in this State has enjoyed a tremendous
reputation for 189 years and, likewise, in Washington for
188 years, before this decision. And if this had happened
in 1860 you would have never heard the name of Abraham
Lincoln.
When California was admitted to the Union they had
a few people and they had one Congressman. Today they
arc the largest state in these United States — changing
times, changing economics. And so it is all through the
history of our great State. And when the people who walk
in the street are awakened to what is about to happen they
will say that someone should have spoken up.
I am a Lawyer. I respect the Court. I respect its attitude
on the South. But, likewise, I should expect the Court to
recognize that in 1S44, and again in 1947, the people of this
Stale spoke as they did in Colorado in 1!)(52 when they
patterned their state government after New Jersey — and
MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1965 535
all the large cities adopted that document. But the Court
says, "No. No. This shall not be." And the only way for
the people of this country to be heard is through you, you,
and you, the Legislators.
So I must voice my objections, even though I will support
the bill because it is a mandate of the Court. But it's a sin
and a shame that the little people — the little people who
have contributed so much to this State — from Salem,
Cumberland, Hunterdon, Sussex, Warren, Cape May,
Gloucester, and many sections — who have worked so ardu-
ously dedicating their lives, because they do not live in
a populous area, are denied the opportunity to seek office
as a State Senator.
I say to you, so sincerely, that this is historic today, but
it is casting aside the work of hundreds of thousands of
people who enjoy the tradition of being the State that cre-
ated the government of these United States and now that
creation is being discarded by this legislation.
It's time to think. We have no alternative, but I think it
should be on the record so that the people in years hence
will know how we, in the small counties, feel about this
general situation.
I intend to support the bill.
President Sandman : Any further remarks ! Roll call on
the Bill.
(Roll call by Secretary Patterson)
In the affirmative were:
Messrs. Dumont, Farley, Forsythe, Grossi, Kelly, Mathis,
Ozzard, Ridolfi, Sandman, Scholz, Stamler, Wad-
dington, Weber, Woolfenden — 14.
In the negative was :
Mr. Hunt— 1.
President Sandman : Senate Bill No. 270 having received
14 votes in the affirmative and 1 in the negative, I declare
it passed.
Senator Ozzard: Mr. President, I respectfully request
that the Bill be signed and transmitted forthwith to the
Assembly.
President Sandman : That will be done.
President Sandman: On the introduction of the second
reapportionment bill, Senate Bill No. 275.
536 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
Mr. Patterson : Introduction of bills. Senate Bill No. 275
by Senator Ozzarcl : An Act providing for the representa-
tion of the people of this State in a temporary New Jersey
Legislature.
President Sandman : I recognize the Majority Leader.
Senator Ozzard: Mr. President, I move the Bill be ad-
vanced to second reading without reference.
(Motion adopted by voice vote.)
Mr. Patterson: Senate bills on second reading. Senate
Bill No. 275 by Senator Ozzard: An Act providing for the
representation of the people of this State in a temporary
New Jersey Legislature.
President Sandman: The title of the bill is open to
amendment, the first section is open to amendment, the
second section is open to amendment, the bill is open to
amendment in all its parts — having been read twice and
considered section by section, is ordered to have a third
reading.
Mr. Patterson : Resolution by Senator Ozzard : Be it
resolved by the Senate by the vote of three-fourths of all
its members, signified by yeas and nays entered on the
Journal of the Senate that Senate Bill No. 275 is an emer-
gency measure and may proceed forthwith from second to
third reading.
President Sandman: I recognize the Majority Leader.
Senator Ozzard: Mr. President, everything that has been
said on 270 is repeated here. This is the second reapportion-
ment bill which would provide for the districts I spoke of
before, that is, Camden with 2 Senators, and Gloucester,
Atlantic and Cape May with 2 Senators.
It is a bill that at least incorporates a pattern of counties
that was discussed with the Governor last week. I have
talked with the Minority Leader and this time he finds it
acceptable.
The only reason we are passing two bills is the simple
tact that the Assembly is undecided as to the district that's
involved here, or the two districts involved, and rather than
have the hill, 270, sent to the Assembly and have it returned
later today and possibly get into complications at another
ion later in the week — not that 1 have been hesitant
about asking this body, nor has this body been less than co-
operative in coming back for additional sessions, the fact
MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1965 537
is that time is short, the Secretary of State is being crowded,
he has 3 days in which to act on either one of these bills,
and we would like to get this package finished today. The
only reason for the second bill is so that the Assembly may
make a decision, not a choice but a decision because either
plan is workable, either plan has merit, and the slight
change is not that staggering or that important that it
wouldn't be acceptable to both parties and to the Governor.
I move the Emergency Resolution.
President Sandman: I recognize the Minority Leader.
Senator Weber : Mr. President and gentlemen of the Sen-
ate : At the risk of being repetitious and accused of being
a little thick, I would like to just review, not in a question
form but the Majority Leader may confirm what I think
Bill 275 is, which we have not seen. It is my understanding
that it is identical to 270 with these changes only in Southern
New Jersey in that Gloucester, Atlantic and Cape May will
now have 2 Senators, and Camden will have 2 Senators,
and Cumberland and Salem will have 1 Senator. Is my
understanding correct .'
Senator Ozzard: Cumberland and Salem — incidentally,
I see some maps have been passed out. These are wrong.
They are not the maps. This is some plan that someone
drew up this morning and circulated. I'm sorry, I apolo-
gize. I thought thev were circulating the maps that belong
to 275.
Senator Weber : There is a map on my desk, Mr. Presi-
dent.
President Sandman : The answer to your question, Sen-
ator Minority Leader, is yes. I just read the bill.
Senator Ozzard: The provision is for 1 Senator from
Salem and Cumberland; 2 Senators from Camden; and 2
Senators from the combined district of Gloucester, Atlantic
and Cape May. That is in the Bill, regardless of what kind
of a map has been delivered to you.
Senator Weber : Thank you for your patience in bearing
with me. And while I am on my feet, probably for the last
time on reapportionment, I would like to compliment the
Senator from Atlantic County for so eloquently and sin-
cerely expressing the emotions and the sincere beliefs of
most of us from the small counties.

Whereas, Our colleague, Senator Raymond E. Bowkley,
of Hunterdon County, died on Tuesday, April 20, 1965 ; and
548 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
AYhereas, Senator Bowkley has ably served his county
and State in the Legislature for a period of 14 years, first
as a member of the General Assembly and since 1962 as a
member of the Senate ; and
Whereas, During his legislative service, Senator Bowk-
ley was a member of the Law Revision and Legislative
Services Commission and immediately prior to his election
to the Senate served as Minority Leader of the General As-
sembly; and
AVhekeas, In addition to his legislative service, Senator
Bowkley was a captain in the United States Air Force
Reserve, a municipal court magistrate, an active prac-
titioner at the bar and a member of the New Jersey Bar
Association, the Hunterdon County Bar Association, the
American Judicature Society, the Municipal Attorneys As-
sociation, and various veterans and fraternal organizations ;
and
Whereas, It is to be remembered that Senator Bowkley
served with distinction during World War II as a bombar-
dier with the United States Air Force and while assigned to
the 8th Air Force European Theater of Operations and in
returning from a bombing raid on Poland on May 13, 1944,
his plane was shot down over Germany and although he
and several other crewmen parachuted to safety, they were
captured and he was held a prisoner of war for approxi-
mately 1 year; and
Whereas, Senator Bowkley 's death at the early age of
47 years has brought shock and sorrow to his family and
his many friends and to his legislative associates; now,
therefore,
Be It Resolved by the Senate of the State of New Jersey:
That profound regret is expressed upon the passing of
Senator Raymond E. Bowkley and sympathy and con-
dolences are extended to his family.
Be It Further Resolved, That this resolution be spread
upon the Journal of the Senate and that a copy signed by

againsl the overwhelming might of the German Army,
inflicting thousand of casualties upon their oppressors
before succumbing to superior force; and
Whereas, The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is a symbol of
Jewish resistance to oppression and a tribute to the courage
and valor of the six million Jews who perished at the hands
of the Nazis during World War II; and

State of New Jersey, "]
Executive Department, [
May 17, 1965. ]
Senate Bill No. 99
To the Senate:
Pursuant to Article V, Section I, paragraph 14(b) of the
Constitution, I herewith return Senate Bill No. 99, with my
objections, for reconsideration.
Senate Bill No. 99 would amend the law concerning the
Newark City retirement system to liberalize the retirement
and disability pension benefit structure. For example, it
would increase the maximum annual salary upon which
734: JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
benefits are computed by $2,000.00. The bill would also
reopen the system to all present employees, otherwise
eligible, who are not now members and would permit all
members to purchase prior service credit for certain service
rendered in municipal employment for which they cannot
now receive pension credit.
The bill would make one further significant change by
requiring the City of Newark to pay the entire cost of hos-
pitalization, medical, surgical and major medical insurance
for all retired employees who retire after the effective date
of this new law and their dependents. No other govern-
mental employer in New Jersey is obligated to provide such
benefits to retirants and their dependents.
I am not unmindful of the responsibility of governmental
employers to modernize and improve the benefits available
to their employees. I believe the State in this regard in
recent years has undertaken to meet its responsibilities and
I certainly would not wish to prevent our local employers
from doing likewise. All increases in State benefits, how-
ever, were accompanied by the appropriation of the neces-
sary funds. In addition, the State pension systems are on
a solid actuarily sound basis. In contrast, Senate Bill No.
99 fails to make any provision for having the City meet
the considerable cost of the increased benefits contemplated.
This is a serious omission since the Newark system already
has incurred a substantial accrued liability for pensions.
In 1954, the State informed the Newark system that the
then accrued liability was more than $22 million. Without
considering the increases in salaries and employees that
have occurred since that date, this liability, with interest,
now exceeds $30 million. Undoubtedly, the actual liability
is substantially greater in amount.
The seriousness of the situation is further demonstrated
by the fact that at the present time the system is paying out
approximately $250,000.00 more than it is receiving by way
of contributions or earnings on its assets.
It may be argued by some that this is a local problem
and that the State should not prohibit the municipality from
taking whatever action it may desire. Forgetting the
mandatory aspects of this legislation, I would point out
to such observers thai in the past when the State has per-
mitted local systems to reach the point of insolvency, it lias
MONDAY, MAY 17, 1965 735
been called upon to assume substantial responsibility for
revising these systems and protecting the benefits promised
to local employees. For example, not too many years ago
the 212 local police and firemen's pension funds reached
the point of financial insolvency. Local employers were
unable to meet their commitments to local employees. The
State, therefore, was forced to underwrite a considerable
portion of the accrued liabilities of these funds although
not a single member involved was a State employee. In
fact, under the arrangement entered into in the early 1950 's
the State obligated itself to pay % of this deficiency and the
value of the State's contribution in the past decade, to
guarantee these local benefits, is approximately $65 million.
During the current year, a number of the members of
this Legislature have shown considerable interest in
economy and efficiency in government. For those truly
interested in this most important subject, I would suggest
attention be given to pension legislation since the State now
expends almost $100 million for this purpose and local
employers many million more. It should require no great
insight on the part of any interested participant in gov-
ernment to realize that in the space of several years the
State may again be called upon to underwrite local obliga-
tions of considerable magnitude because of Senate Xo. 99.
Unless steps are immediately taken to insure the solvency
of this system, it will be impossible to guarantee both the
local employees of the City and the taxpayers of the City
a systematic method of satisfying this local obligation.
Without such action, the increased benefits proposed by this
bill may be largely illusory; promises written by check on
an overdrawn account.
I, therefore, suggest that this bill be amended to provide
that in each fiscal year following the effective date of the
liberalization in benefits, the City increase its contribution
by an additional 1% of the salaries of all participating city
employees until the actuary of the fund certifies to the
municipality that the City's contribution, together with the
contributions of the members are sufficient to meet the
liabilities of the system on a fully funded reserve basis.
Once the system has achieved a fully funded status on the
basis of such increased contributions by the municipality,
the actuary would certify a rate of contribution which
would be necessary in order to continue the system on a
fully funded basis. This will protect the pension benefits
736 JOURNAL OF THE SEXATE
of the members of tlie system while providing to the mu-
nicipality a means of gradually accomplishing financial
solvency for the system.
With respect to the matter of payment of health insur-
ance premiums, which the bill would make available only
to future retirants and their dependents, it would appear
that this aspect of the legislation requires further considera-
tion. As I have indicated, no other governmental employer
in the entire State would have the financial obligation that
would be placed upon the City of Newark by this provision.
Indeed, this obligation runs exactly counter to the provi-
sions contained in the laws governing the health benefits
programs which are available to State and local employees
generally. It was only last year that this Legislature, on
two separate occasions, specifically provided that public
employers, both State and local, could not underwrite the
entire cost of health benefits to the retired emplovee him-
self, let alone his dependents. P. L. 1964, c. 125; P. L. 1964,
c. 259.
Unquestionably, public employers have to face directly
the question of what is fair and appropriate treatment for
retired persons in the area of health benefits. I do not
believe, however, that the policy in this area should be
establishment on a piecemeal basis by the enactment of
isolated provisions such as those contained in this legis-
lation. In addition, the probable enactment of a Federal
medicare program in the very near future will undoubtedly
influence the ultimate conclusions to be reached by the
Legislature on this subject. I would, therefore, suggest
that a study commission be established as quickly as pos-
sible for the purpose of determining what are the proper
obligations of public employers in regard to providing
health insurance benefits to existing as well as prospective
retired employees and their dependents. A uniform ap-
proach to this subject should be developed which would be
applicable to all public employees in the State and not
merely the members of Hie Newark system. Only in this
manner can the State be assured of approaching this prob-
lem on a basis which is business-like in regard to the eco-
nomic implications and ye1 responsible in terms of an em-
ployer's obligation to its employees.
Accordingly, I herewith return Senate Bill No. 99 for
reconsideration, with the recommendation that it be
amended in the following respects:
MONDAY, MAY 17, 1965 737
On pages 6 and 7, Section 6, lines 1 through 8, delete
Section 6 in its entirety and insert in lieu thereof :
"6. In addition to the contributions of the City pre-
scribed in the act to which this act is supplementary,
in fiscal year 1966 the City shall increase its contribu-
tion by 1% of the amount of the salaries paid to all
members of the pension fund in 1965 and in each fiscal
year thereafter the contribution of the City required
by the provisions of this act shall be increased over
the previous percentage by an additional 1% of the
salaries paid to all members of the pension fund in
the immediately preceding year until the actuary shall
certify to the City that the total of the contributions
made by the City, together with the contributions of the
members and all earnings, is sufficient to meet the
liabilities of the fund on a fully funded, reserve basis.
"The actuary of the fund shall then certify the rate
of contribution, expressed as a proportion of the com-
pensation of the members, which shall be made by the
City to the fund in order to continue the fund on a
fully funded, reserve basis once the fund has achieved
a fully funded status on the basis of increased con-
tributions by the City and the members."

State of New Jersey,
Executive Department,
May 24, 1965.
Senate Bill No. 81
To the Senate:
Pursuant to Article V, Section I, paragraph 14(b) of the
Constitution, I herewith return Senate Bill No. 81, with
my objections, for reconsideration.
( Senate Bill No. 81 would undertake to define and pro-
hibit conflicts between the official obligations and the pri-
vate interests of members, officers and employees of the
legislative and executive branches of government. This
measure, unfortunately, is but a repetition of Senate Bill
No. 40 of last year, which would have reserved to each
House of the Legislature the exclusive power to hear and
determine all charges of impropriety against its own
818 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
members. This feature of Senate Bill No. 40 constituted a
nullification of the basic intent of the law and I was con-
strained to return that bill to the Senate with recommenda-
tions designed to provide the assurance of a full and fair
hearing on such charges by an impartial body. Since Sen-
ate Bill No. 81 was deliberately amended by the Senate
caucus to remove the provision relating to an impartial
review of the Legislature's activities, I see no alternative
but to return this bill in the hope that the conscience of the
Senate will move it to pass a realistic conflicts measure.
To accept Senate Bill No. 81 as a "first step" or as "half
a loaf" would, I fear, remove from public view for the
foreseeable future the question of a meaningful conflicts
of interest law. I think it is to the advantge of the people
of this State that public insistence be maintained on behalf
of a law that has meaning and effect.
As you know, I proposed last year that Senate Bill No.
40 be amended to empower the State House Commission,
as an appropriate independent tribunal composed of
responsible members of the executive and legislative
branches, to adjudicate all complaints involving alleged
violations by members, officers and employees of both
branches. This suggestion was offered as a possible com-
promise between the criminal sanctions preferred by the
Assembly and the illusory deterrent of secret self-exam-
ination long advocated by the Senate. The proposal
deferred to the ultimate right of each House to judge the
qualifications of its own members, for it would have con-
stituted the State House Commission only as a fact-finding
body with no authority to impose any penalties upon mem-
bers and employees of the Legislature. The paramount aim
of such an approach is not to punish the Legislature but
to maintain public confidence in the governmental process
by assuring certain and impartial enforcement of a conflicts
law in broad daylight. Without such assurance a conflicts
law can have no meaning. As I noted in my message on
Senate Bill No. 40 :
"For good cause or not, public attention to the
subject of conflicts of interest long has been focused
primarily upon the activities of the Legislature. In
order to assure the confidence of our citizens in their
government, it is imperative that no suspicion con-
cerning the bonafides of the Legislature be given a
basis for existence. In a society which derives its order
MONDAY, MAY 24, 1965 819
from the consent of the governed, men in public office
not only should do justice but also should satisfy the
people that justice has in fact been done. If Senate
Bill No. 40 were approved, it could increase rather
than dispel public cynicism toward the Legislature. It
is not difficult to forecast that the exoneration of an
accused legislator by the membership of his House
would be attended by suspicion that the charge was
neither diligently investigated nor disposed of on its
merits. The recent United States Senate investigations
indicate the insurmountable obstacles any body must
face when it seeks to judge itself."
For these reasons, I cannot in conscience approve Senate
Bill No. 81 unless the Senate will agree to authorize a dis-
interested body such as the State House Commission,
rather than the Legislature itself, to hear and determine
complaints against members of the legislative branch as
well as members of the executive branch.
I am returning this bill to the Senate with a sense of
total frustration in dealing with a Senate caucus which can
choose to act irresponsibly although the individual mem-
bers of that body can proclaim their own support for
measures they know the people want. When I returned
Senate Bill No. 40 last year, my recommendations to
strengthen that measure drew an immediate and largely
favorable reaction from the sponsor and many others.
There was some indication during the 1964 session that the
Legislature might re-pass the bill with the substance of my
proposed amendments and thereby give this State its first
meaningful conflicts of interest law. Although this respon-
sible action failed to materialize, there was reason to expect
that the Legislature, and particularly the Senate, would
meet this fundamental obligation to the people in 1965.
On January 18, 1965, Senate Bill No. 81 was introduced
with bipartisan sponsorship and was referred to the Senate
Judiciary Committee. The bill had been prepared with
the full cooperation of the sponsors and embodied most of
my recommendations concerning Senate Bill No. 40 of last
year, including the vital provision for a hearing of charges
against members of the legislative and executive branches
by the State House Commission. Despite this promising
start, the measure languished in committee until May 10,
1965, when it was decided in the caucus to strip the State
820 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
House Commission of its jurisdiction over charges involv-
ing legislative members and employees and vesting- that
authority exclusively in the Legislature itself. As thus
amended, the bill was immediately given a second reading
and passed by the Senate under "emergency" resolution
on the same day. The emasculated measure was then passed
by the Assembly on May 17, just one legislative meeting
short of the previously announced adjournment date of
May 24, 1965.
This precipitous action, coming at the end of a session
marked by disinterest in conflicts legislation, makes it clear
that some legislators hope to face the electorate in Novem-
ber with the claim of having produced a conflicts bill which
rectifies the generally acknowledged deficiencies of last
year's Senate Bill No. 40. Although the amended version
of Senate Bill No. 81 does embrace some of my proposals,
it does not meet the fundamental problems which inhere in
permitting the Legislature to act as its own and only judge
and jury. No new legislation is required to empower the
Legislature to discipline errant members and to establish
internal procedural machinery for that purpose. This
power has long existed, but has not been used in recent
times and the problem persists. It can hardly be alleviated
by a law which, in application to members of the legislative
branch, adds not a single whit to the powers now held by
that body.
As much as I desire the enactment of a viable conflicts
of interest law, I cannot and will not be a party to the en-
actment of a measure which may delay the adoption of a
meaningful conflicts law for many years. As I said last
year, I am well aware that it would be pointless to insist
upon perfection in this highly sensitive area. At the same
time, the people of this State are entitled to at least a mini-
mal showing of good faith, characterized by legislation
which does not insult their intelligence.
Accordingly, I am returning Senate Bill No. SI to the
Senate today, with the earnest hope that it will be repassed
today, prior to the summer recess of the Legislature, with
the following amendments:
On page 8, section 13, lines 2 and 3, delete "by
officers or employees of a State agency or State
appointees in the Executive Branch of the State Gov-
ernment" and insert in lieu thereof "except as limited
by the provisions of section 10(c) of this act".
MONDAY, MAY 24, 1965 821
On page 8, section 13, line 13, delete "The" and
insert in lieu thereof "In the case of any person other
than a member or appointee of the Legislature, the".
On page 8, section 13, after line 20, insert the fol-
lowing new subsection:
"(c) In the case of a member or appointee of the
Legislature, the commission shall report its findings
to the House of the Legislature in which such person
shall be a member or appointee and shall recommend
to such House such action, as in its opinion, shall be
appropriate under the circumstances. It shall be the
sole responsibility of such House of the Legislature to
determine what action, if any, shall be taken against
such member or appointee."
On page 9, section 16, lines 1 through 14, delete
section 16 in its entirety.
On page 9, section 17, line 1, delete "17" and insert
in lieu thereof "16".
Respectfully,

Senate Bill No. 300
To the Senate:
Pursuant to Article V, Section I, paragraph 15 of the
Constitution, \ appended to Senate Bill Xo. 300, at the time
MOXDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1965 857
of signing it, a statement of certain items, or parts thereof,
to which I objected, so that such items, or parts thereof,
should not take effect.
Senate Bill Xo. 300 is the general appropriation bill for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1966. After carefully re-
viewing the measure in its entirety, I was constrained to
disapprove the items discussed below.
I
The first items to which I objected would have appropri-
ated $130,500 to the Senate, and $90,000 to the General
Assembly, as salaries for "members' staff services". Com-
pared to the amounts expended last year for the sal-
aries of "members' secretaries", these items would have
raised the personal staff allowance of each Senator from
$1,000 to $4,500, and that of each Assemblyman from $750
to $1,500.
This unprecedented increase of legislative perquisites
comes as a rather anomalous climax to a session marked by
many expressions of legislative devotion to the cause of
economy and efficiency in government. In contrast to the
close scrutiny given by the Legislature to most budget re-
quests this year, little or no real study appears to have
attended the adoption of the items in question. The very
vagueness of the term "members' staff services" indicates
that these items were tacked onto the appropriation bill as
an afterthought, and that the exact nature of such "staff
services" remains to be formulated.
It is by no means clear whether the Legislature meant
to use this t erm only as a broader euphemism for the
phrase "members' secretaries" which appeared in last
year's appropriation bill, or to connote a new and more
ambitious concept of full-time professional staff. If the
projected "staff services" are to be identical with those
rendered by "members' secretaries" in previous years, I
can discern no reason why the salaries paid for such serv-
ices should suddenly be increased by 350% in the case of
the Senate, and by 100% in the case of the Assembly. If,
on the other hand, these "staff services" were intended
to encompass other and more demanding functions related
to the full-time assistance of legislators in the performance
of their duties, I would suggest that such functions be
clearly specified and defined before a blank check is writ-
ten to pay for them.
858 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
In this aspect, many questions arise. How, if at all,
would such "staff services" be related to the work of the
Law Revision and Legislative Services Commission, for
which more than $250,000 has been appropriated this year?
By what standard is a staff allowance of $4,500 suitable
for each Senator, while an Assemblyman devoting an
equivalent amount of time and effort to his legislative obli-
gations would receive only $1,500? These and other mat-
ters obviously need to be thought out before the Legisla-
ture next undertakes any move toward the establishment
of a professional staff.
These observations should not be taken to mean that I
am unsympathetic toward the idea of upgrading and pro-
fessionalizing the quality of legislative staff assistance.
Such a project, if approached properly and with the req-
uisite preliminary study, could result in a measurable im-
provement in the legislative process. Because the creation
of a professional staff for legislators would be a new and
permanent step, however, I feel that the task should await
the installation of the Legislature to be elected on a per-
manent basis in 1967, and should not fall to an interim body.
With that reservation, any sincere and knowledgeable
effort toward the establishment of such a staff would re-
ceive my full support.
For the reasons stated above, I determined that it would
not serve the public interest to grant each Senator an addi-
tional $3,500, and each Assemblyman an additional $750,
for so vague and unspecified a purpose as "members' staff
services". I accordingly reduced the staff allowance of
each Senator to $1,000, and that of each Assemblyman to
$750, thus preserving the status quo until such time as a
proper study of staff needs is conducted by a new Legisla-
ture constituted under a permanent method of apportion-
ment.
II
The next items to which I objected would have appro-
priated $50,000 to each House of the Legislature "[f]or
transfer to Legislative Commissions for administrative
expenses, when resolutions as the case may be, provide
therefor." These two funds were intended to be available
for the financing of legislative investigations, as and wheD
the investigative mood might have struct either or both
Houses this year.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1965 859
Identical items were vetoed in 1956, 1958 and 1960. In
disapproving these expenditures, Governor Meyner re-
peatedly observed that no such general fund for legislative
investigations has ever existed in the past, that it has
always been the practice to request and approprate specific
amounts for specific commissions on the basis of actual
need, and that it would be an unsound budgetary practice
to first appropriate $100,000 of tax money and then deter-
mine whether and for what it is to be used. Additionally,
in his message concerning the 1958 appropriation, Gover-
nor Meyner pointed out that :
"* * * funds appropriated in such a general and
vague manner are subject to use in ways that may be
unwise or otherwise not in the public interest. Judging
from past experience, this risk seems to be especially
high in the months preceding the November elections,
when some commissions tend to become unusually
active."
My own experience in office has disclosed nothing to
detract from the wisdom of my predecessor's views on this
subject. No justification has been advanced which would
warrant the consignment of $100,000 in State money to so
amorphous a purpose as unspecified legislative investiga-
tions which may or may not ever be required. If the need
arises for the Legislature to exercise its legitimate investi-
gative function, the cost can be met by a specific appropria-
tion commensurate with the nature and extent of the
particular study involved.
In that connection, I have never been reluctant to
approve suitable appropriations for bona fide legislative
commission studies. In 1964 I approved expenditures
totalling over $246,000 for such studies, and so far this
year I have approved similar appropriations of more than
$107,000. Even in objecting to the items now before me,
I determined that the reduced sum of $10,000 should be
appropriated to the Assembly in the hope that it will be
applied to continue the work of the Commission on Effi-
ciency and Economy in State Government. I accordingly
reduced that item from $50,000 to $10,000. While I cannot
restrict the use to which these funds will be applied, I have
approved this sum so that it will be available for this spe-
cific purpose, thus continuing my effort to assist this
Commission in the performance of its duties.

The final item to which I objected would have increased
the salary of the Governor from $35,000 to $40,000 per
annum. This increase was intended to take effect upon the
inauguration of the next Governor in January of 1966.
I cannot agree that the contract of employment between
the Governor and the people of New Jersey warrants such
a salary increase at this time. It has been traditional in
recent years to limit reconsideration of the Governor's
compensation to those intervals when it was certain that
the incumbent would not suceed himself and therefore could
not benefit personally from the increase. Thus my prede-
cessor approved a $5,000 increase in the Governor's salary
which became effective the day I took office.
I assumed this office with a full understanding of its
compensation and with a realization that it would not be
appropriate for me to accept any salary raise during my
tenure. I am now standing for reelection to the Office of
Governor and there is a possibility that I would be the
immediate beneficiary of the projected salary increase to
$40,000. Since I believe such a circumstance would violate
the spirit of my contract with the people, I have disap-
proved this item.
IV
For these reasons, I objected to the items, or parts
thereof, noted above in Senate Bill No. 300 and I am attach-
ing hereto a copy of my statement in connection therewith.
Respectfully,
[seal] /s/ RICHARD J. HUGHES,
Attest: Governor.

Acting Secretary to the Governor.

Whereas, Mr. Hansen was prominent in banking circles

Whereas, It is but fitting that public tribute be paid to
bis memory ; now, therefore,
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1965 863
Be It Resolved by the Senate of the State of New Jersey:

Executive Department, \-
November 29, 1965. |
Senate Bill Xo. 126
To the Senate:
I herewith return Senate Bill Xo. 126, without my ap-
proval, for the following reasons :
Senate Bill Xo. 126 would establish a mandatory proce-
dure for an annual central inventory of "all property, both
real and personal, owned by the State". Like Senate Bill
No. 54 of last year, this measure would require the Director
of the Division of Purchase and Property to compile an
annual master list of all State holdings on the basis of
yearly departmental inventory reports. Although the pro-
ponents of last year's bill then insisted that no specific
appropriation would be needed to finance such a project,
Senate Bill Xo. 126, introduced by the same sponsor, would
appropriate $30,000 for this purpose.
896 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
Last year I returned Senate Bill No. 54 to the Senate,
with certain recommended amendments, for the reason that
the absolutely exhaustive inventory program visualized by
the bill could have been accomplished, in the estimation of
the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting, only
at the prohibitive cost of $330,000 for the first year of its
operation and $130,000 for the following year. As an
alternative, I suggested that the bill be amended to em-
power the State Treasurer to establish those categories of
State-owned property which should be covered by an
effective inventory program to be conducted at a reason-
able cost commensurate with the advantages of such a
program to the State. This recommendation was not
adopted and Senate Bill No. 54 died with the expiration of
the 1964 legislative session.
On February 1, 1965, in my Annual Budget Message to
the Legislature, I repeated my belief that a central inven-
tory program conducted along realistic lines could be useful
to the State, and I requested an appropriation of $50,000
for the development of such a program. In urging the
Legislature to provide this sum, I stated :
* ' There also is included $50,000 to begin a permanent
inventory of personal and real property owned by the
State. You will recall that in my recent veto message
of a bill proposing a State property inventory, I indi-
cated that an inventory as contemplated by the bill
would be too costly. I proposed that more careful
guide lines be established for the inventory system.
This sum will permit an inventory — with efficiency
and economy as its objective — to begin with needed
criteria."
While the Legislature has seen fit to disregard my
suggestion, it has not advanced any explanation for what
I consider to be an unworkable proposal. The burden
placed upon State administration would far outweigh any
advantage to the State from having the type of inventory
contemplated by this bill.

Senate Bill No. 212
To the Senate:
I herewith return Senate Bill No. 212, without my ap-
proval, for the following reasons :
This bill would permit active members of recognized
volunteer fire companies to display blue flashing or revolv-
ing turret lights on their privately owned motor vehicles
for use in the performance of lire or emergency duty.
The present law limits the use of flashing or turret light
equipment to official emergency vehicles. This is based upon
the concept that the effective use of this equipment, as a
means of assuring the rapid passage of official emergency
vehicles on our streets and roads, is directly related to the
number of vehicles authorized to use this equipment. A
widespread use of flashing or turret lights would only
increase traffic chaos and impede the movement of official
emergency vehicles.
Senate Bill No. 212, by permitting each individual
volunteer fireman to use such equipment, would drastically
increase the number of vehicles authorized to use flashing
or turret lights. It could also be used as a precedent by
other groups of equal stature who are seeking the use of
such equipment.
Undeniably, volunteer fire companies perform many
services throughout the State. I concur with those who
would assist the members of these companies in the per-
formance of their services. After a consideration of the
objections raised to this bill by numerous traffic safety
groups^ the State Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, the
State Firemen's Mutual Benevolent Association and others,
however, it would appear that the possible benefits of this
bill are outweighed by the detrimental effect these addi-
tional flashing or turret lights would have on the traffic in
our streets.

Attest: Governor.

Senate Bill No. 263
To the Senate:
I herewith return Senate Bill No. 263, without my ap-
proval, for the following* reasons :
This bill would extend civil service protection to persons
who had served in the position of special officer for a period
of time prior to the date of the filing of a petition for the
adoption of civil service in a municipality.
Assembly Bill No. 598 of 1965 is identical to this meas-
ure. It was approved by me on May 11, 1965 and is now
P. L. 1965, chapter 46.
Accordingly, I herewith return Senate Bill No. 263 with-
out my approval.

Senate Bill No. 335
To the Senate:
I herewith return Senate Bill No. 335, without my ap-
proval, for the following reasons :
This bill would require each commissioner of the Dela-
ware River Port Authority from the State of New Jersey
to be a resident of the Authority's port district.
I recognize the very real interest of those counties which
comprise the port district area of the Delaware River Port
Authority. And, all the present New Jersey members of
this Authority now are residents of the port district. I
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1965 899
would point out, however, that this agency is a bi-state
agency and its actions are matters of concern to areas and
people beyond the port district itself. It would, therefore,
be most inappropriate to bar from this important agency
persons of ability simply because they do not reside within
this stipulated area. State government would be severely
handicapped in its relationship with its own agency if it
were prevented from having some representation thereon
which reflected the policies and programs of an incumbent
administration. It was for this reason that I nominated the
State Treasurer to serve on this agency because he could
reflect the concern and interest that the entire State shares
in the development by this Authority of port facilities, river
crossings and the Kirkwood high speed line.
It is most important that local sentiment be represented
on an agency such as the Delaware River Port Authority.
This representation, however, should not require the exclu-
sion of all other interests and voices in the operation of the
agency. Such provincialism does not serve any legitimate
purpose.
Accordingly, I am returning Senate Bill No. 335 without
my approval.
Respectfully,

Senate Bill No. 342
To the Senate:
I herewith return Senate Bill No. 342, without my ap-
proval, for the following reasons :
This bill would require the New Jersey Commissioners of
the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission to be
residents of any one of the Counties of Sussex, Warren,
Hunterdon, Mercer or Burlington. This bill is similar in
900 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
concept to Senate Bill No. 335 which would have imposed
a comparable residency requirement on commissioners of
the Delaware Eiver Port Authority.
I have today also returned to the Legislature Senate Bill
No. 335, pointing out that the importance of representing
local interests on such bi-state agencies should not be con-
strued to require the exclusion of all other interests and
voices in the operation of such agencies. As is the case
with the Delaware River Port Authority, all present
members of the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Com-
mission now actually reside within the counties named in
Senate Bill No. 342. Since the past practice, both by myself
and by my predecessors in office, has been to select most of
this agency's commissioners from among the residents of
the river counties, the restrictive provisions of Senate Bill
No. 342 do not seem calculated to serve any substantial
public purpose.
For these reasons and the reasons expressed in the
message attached to Senate Bill No. 335, I am returning
Senate Bill No. 342 without my approval.
Respectfully,
[seal] RICHARD J. HUGHES,

A Resolution of commendation concerning representation

Whereas, The Honorable Edward J. O'Mara, a former
State Senator from Hudson County, James Dorment, Jr.,
the Honorable Wesley L. Lance, a former State Senator
from Hunterdon County, and Vincent P. Biunno have at
various stages of the reapportionment suit, Jackman v.
Bodine, represented the Xew Jersey State Senate in their
proceedings before the Xew Jersey Superior Court and
the Xew Jersey Supreme Court in an effort to sustain the
constitutionality of the Xew Jersey State Senate ; and
nYheeeas, These attorneys have served this cause with
competence and loyalty; now therefore,
Be It Resolved by the Senate of the State of New Jersey:
That the members of this body express their appreciation
for the efforts of these men and that copies of this resolu-
tion be spread upon the journal of the Senate; and
Be It Further Resolved that copies of this resolution be
sent to the family of the late Senator O'Mara, to Senator
Lance and to Mr. Dorment and Mr. Biunno.
A message was received from the Governor, by the hands
of his Secretary, endorsed, Veto Message.

950 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
State of New Jersey,
Executive Department, [
January 11, 1966 J
Senate Bill No. 158
To the Senate:
I herewith return Senate Bill No. 158, without my ap-
proval, for the following reasons :
Under existing law, the board of chosen freeholders of
each county has discretionary authority to fix the salaries
of the surrogate, the register of deeds and mortgages, the
county clerk and the sheriff, at any amount within the scale
of maximum and minimum salaries specified by the statute.
Senate Bill No. 158 would establish a new schedule of sal-
aries which must be paid to these officials, with no range of
permissible maximum and minimum compensation. For
example, where the law now provides that the Clerk of
Essex County may receive a salary between $12,000 and
$15,000 in the amount determined by the board of free-
holders, Senate Bill No. 158 would provide for a salary of
$20,000.
I have no doubt that in many cases the increases sug-
gested by this bill are justifiable. The workload and the
responsibility of these offices have increased significantly in
past years. Indeed, many of these offices now return to the
counties a substantial amount of money over and above
their operating expenses.
I do not believe, however, it is appropriate for State gov-
ernment to establish a fixed salary for such county officers.
The ultimate decision should rest within the county. For
example, since the passage of this bill on December 13,
1965, I have heard from many concerned citizens who fear
that the measure would arbitrarily impose further burdens
upon the already overloaded tax structure in some counties.
The appropriate county officials should be in a position to
consider these objections. If, therefore, the new Legisla-
ture wishes to adopt a law providing for increases in the1
present salary ranges for county officials, I would give such
a bill favorable consideration.
Respectfully,
I seal] IM ( 1HARD J. HUGH ES,

Office of the Governor
Trenton
March 15, 1965.
Honorable Charles W. Sandman, Jr., President of the
Senate :
Sir:
On January 25, 1965, I submitted to the Senate, for its
advice and consent, the nomination of John F. Crane to be
Judge of the Superior Court.
Judge Crane's term as a member of the Essex County
Court expires on April 1, and his judicial office would
terminate on that date were I not to renominate him
promptly. In order to prevent this from happening, I have
determined to withdraw his nomination to be a Judge of
the Superior Court in order to submit his nomination for
reappointment as a Judge of the Essex County Court,
I therefore respectfully request that you return to me the
nomination of John F. Crane to be a Judge of the Superior
Court.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ RICHARD J. HUGHES,
